On a PCI hotplug capable system, it is possible for scsi_device_put() to happen after lpfc_pci_remove_one() is called. As a result, the sdev->host->hostt->module dereference is for a previously freed memory location because the phba structure containing the hostt template was already freed when lpfc_pci_remove_one() returned. Since the lpfc module is still loaded during power slot disable, all scsi_host_templates should be declared as part of the global data segment instead of inside the heap allocated phba structure. This way the sdev->host->hostt memory area is always valid as long as the module is loaded regardless if PCI hotplug dynamically allocates or frees phba structures. Move all scsi_host_templates in the phba structure to global variables. Create a small helper routine to determine appropriate sg_tablesize during shost allocation.

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.
