get_device() and its internally used kobject_get() only return NULL if they get passed NULL as argument. zfcp_get_port_by_wwpn() loops over adapter->port_list so the iteration variable port is always non-NULL. Struct device is embedded in struct zfcp_port so &port->dev is always non-NULL. This is the argument to get_device(). However, if we get an fc_rport in terminate_rport_io() for which we cannot find a match within zfcp_get_port_by_wwpn(), the latter can return NULL. v2.6.30 commit 70932935b61e ("[SCSI] zfcp: Fix oops when port disappears") introduced an early return without adding a trace record for this case. Even if we don't need recovery in this case, for debugging we should still see that our callback was invoked originally by scsi_transport_fc.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
