The only scsi_target_reap_ref_release() caller is scsi_target_reap_ref_put(), which in turn is only called by scsi_target_reap(). scsi_target_reap()'s only callers are scsi_remove_target()/__scsi_remove_target(), which set the STARGET_REMOVE state and __scsi_add_device() scsi_get_host_dev() __scsi_scan_target() Which I'm currently investiganting (in parallel to reproducing the bug). > > @@ -465,6 +467,7 @@ static struct scsi_target > *scsi_alloc_target(struct device *parent, > dev_printk(KERN_ERR, dev, "target allocation failed, error %d\n", error); > /* don't want scsi_target_reap to do the final > * put because it will be under the host lock */ > + starget->state = STARGET_REMOVE; > scsi_target_destroy(starget); > return NULL; > } Here starget->state is STARGET_CREATED and the assertion is already aware of this state transitoin.
