[PATCH] scsi: aic94xx: Free the IRQ before killing the completion tasklet

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Sun Oct 11 2026 - 15:21:44 EST


Masking the adapter interrupt does not wait for an interrupt handler
that is already running. Such a handler can schedule dl_tasklet after
tasklet_kill() returns in asd_pci_remove(), leaving the tasklet pending
when the adapter state and done list are freed.

Move free_irq() ahead of tasklet_kill() so the last possible producer is
joined first. Apply the same ordering to probe failures after interrupts
have been enabled; those paths currently never drain dl_tasklet.

This completes the removal ordering added by commit f6ab594672d4 ("scsi:
aic94xx: fix use-after-free in device removal path").

This issue was found by static analysis.
