Re: [PATCH] scsi: zfcp: fix use-after-free in zfcp_sysfs_port_remove_store

2020-11-25 Thread Benjamin Block
moving it and then having a dangling reference also seems wrong - we do get one explicitly in `zfcp_get_port_by_wwpn()`. My first thought would be to move it after the `device_unregister()` call, and before the `out:` label. -- Best Regards, Benjamin Block / Linux on IBM Z Kernel Development /

[PATCH] scsi: replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL for sdev allocation

2019-02-20 Thread Benjamin Block
no sleeping, as far as I could see. Additionally, the code that allocates the block queue for the device later (scsi_mq_alloc_queue()) already uses GFP_KERNEL. So replace it, and give the allocation a bit of a better chance to succeed, with more ways of reclaim. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Block
