The response queue MSI-X handler qla2xxx_msix_rsp_q() schedules
qla_do_work() via queue_work(ha->wq, &qpair->q_work). qla_do_work()
dereferences the qpair (vha, rsp) and takes qpair->qp_lock.
During teardown, qla2xxx_delete_qpair() deletes the response queue, which
calls free_irq() in qla25xx_free_rsp_que(), and then frees the queue and
the qpair. free_irq() waits for running hardirq handlers but does not
cancel work already placed on ha->wq. A still-pending q_work then runs
qla_do_work() against the freed qpair and response queue, causing a
use-after-free. This is especially likely during full adapter teardown,
where destroy_workqueue(ha->wq) forces pending work to run after the queue
pairs have been freed.
Flush the work item with cancel_work_sync() in qla25xx_free_rsp_que()
after free_irq() has released the interrupt (so no new work can be
queued) and before the response queue and qpair memory are freed (so the
flushed handler still sees valid memory). Guard on rsp->qpair and ha->wq
to match the INIT_WORK() condition and avoid operating on an
uninitialized work_struct.

[ commit 19788a55cab61d78e33e0914a5a31d27843e8a4a upstream ]
Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Documentation
- Building and installing SCST.
- Build options: Clang, cross-compilation, and kernel module signing.
- Configuration and administration: targets, devices,
LUNs, and
/etc/scst.conf. - Core and device handlers: operating modes, module parameters, and sysfs configuration.
- Target drivers: iSCSI, iSER, QLogic Fibre Channel, SRP, FCoE, and local loopback.
- Performance tuning.
- Clustered persistent reservations: synchronization through DLM.
- T10 protection information: data integrity modes and configuration.
- Developer references: architecture and userspace handler interface (SGML sources), and sysfs interface rules.
- Contributing: code style, commit conventions, local checks, and guides to KUnit and component testing.
Current master packages
Prebuilt x86_64 packages from the latest successfully published master
build are available in the rolling
master-rpm prerelease.
These are development snapshots, not SCST releases.
The snapshot contains RPM bundles for selected Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux
UEK kernels. It also contains Ubuntu LTS bundles with scst-dkms, scstadmin
and iscsi-scst binary packages and their Debian source package files. Exact
distribution releases and RPM kernel versions are included in the asset names.
Every .tar.gz bundle has a matching .sha256 file. The complete snapshot is
replaced after each successful package workflow for the current master
commit.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.
The default driver is located in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. It is the newer one.
May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to
16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the
older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
