From 4e46bf89972b9d98a9f282a9fed2359756a5e34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:10:11 -0800 Subject: [SCSI] fix crash when disconnecting usb storage __scsi_remove_device() in scsi_forget_host() is executed out of scan_mutex and races with scsi_destroy_sdev() <- scsi_sysfs_add_devices() <- scsi_finish_async_scan(). The result is use after free and/or double free, oops. The fix is simple, move scsi_forget_host() under scan_mutex. scsi_forget_host() is just sequence of __scsi_remove_device(). All another calls of __scsi_remove_device() are made under scan_mutex. So that it is safe. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: Denis V.
