[PATCH 2/2] scsi: scsi_debug: Wait for async target cleanup on module exit
From: Laurence Oberman
Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 15:56:46 EST
sdebug_target_destroy() is called with the host lock held, so it defers
removal of the per-target debugfs directory to
sdebug_tartget_cleanup_async() on sdebug_async_domain.
scsi_debug_exit() removes the hosts and then removes
sdebug_debugfs_root without waiting for that work. The recursive
removal of the root frees the per-target dentries, and a cleanup that
runs afterwards calls debugfs_remove() on a stale dentry:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock+0x2d/0x40
Workqueue: async async_run_entry_fn

sdebug_target_alloc
scsi_alloc_target+0x7c7/0xa70
followed by a NULL inode dereference in down_write() from
__simple_recursive_removal(). CKI hit this running blktests throtl/001
on arm64. The cleanup can also run after the module text has been
freed.
Commit b402a0dce64a ("scsi: scsi_debug: Fix create target debugfs
failure") drains sdebug_async_domain before creating a target. Do the
same in scsi_debug_exit() just before removing the debugfs root, after
the driver has been unregistered so that no host can still be bound and
queue further cleanup work.
