If xace hardware reports a bad version number, the error handling code in ace_setup() calls put_disk(), followed by queue cleanup. However, since the disk data structure has the queue pointer set, put_disk() also cleans and releases the queue. This results in blk_cleanup_queue() accessing an already released data structure, which in turn may result in a crash such as the following.

A more comprehensive fix might be to rearrange the code to check the hardware version before initializing data structures, but I don't know if this would have undesirable side effects, and it would increase the complexity of backporting the fix to older kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
