We have a test case like block/001 in blktests, which will create a scsi device by loading scsi_debug module and then try to delete the device by sysfs interface. At the same time, it may remove the scsi_debug module. And getting a invalid paging request BUG_ON as following: [ 34.625854] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffa0016bb8 [ 34.629189] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [ 34.629618] CPU: 1 PID: 450 Comm: bash Tainted: G W 5.4.0-rc3+ #473 [ 34.632524] RIP: 0010:scsi_proc_hostdir_rm+0x5/0xa0 [ 34.643555] CR2: ffffffffa0016bb8 CR3: 000000012cd88000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 34.644545] Call Trace: [ 34.644907] scsi_host_dev_release+0x6b/0x1f0 [ 34.645511] device_release+0x74/0x110 [ 34.646046] kobject_put+0x116/0x390 [ 34.646559] put_device+0x17/0x30 [ 34.647041] scsi_target_dev_release+0x2b/0x40 [ 34.647652] device_release+0x74/0x110 [ 34.648186] kobject_put+0x116/0x390 [ 34.648691] put_device+0x17/0x30 [ 34.649157] scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext+0x2e8/0x360 [ 34.649953] execute_in_process_context+0x29/0x80 [ 34.650603] scsi_device_dev_release+0x20/0x30 [ 34.651221] device_release+0x74/0x110 [ 34.651732] kobject_put+0x116/0x390 [ 34.652230] sysfs_unbreak_active_protection+0x3f/0x50 [ 34.652935] sdev_store_delete.cold.4+0x71/0x8f [ 34.653579] dev_attr_store+0x1b/0x40 [ 34.654103] sysfs_kf_write+0x3d/0x60 [ 34.654603] kernfs_fop_write+0x174/0x250 [ 34.655165] __vfs_write+0x1f/0x60 [ 34.655639] vfs_write+0xc7/0x280 [ 34.656117] ksys_write+0x6d/0x140 [ 34.656591] __x64_sys_write+0x1e/0x30 [ 34.657114] do_syscall_64+0xb1/0x400 [ 34.657627] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 [ 34.658335] RIP: 0033:0x7f156f337130 During deleting scsi target, the scsi_debug module have been removed. Then, sdebug_driver_template belonged to the module cannot be accessd, resulting in scsi_proc_hostdir_rm() BUG_ON. To fix the bug, we add scsi_device_get() in sdev_store_delete() to try to increase refcount of module, avoiding the module been removed.

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.
