This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled klist: fix starting point removed bug in klist iterators to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt16. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 19b7a46d4fc92a3062421082df53cd676c79b978 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 08:10:31 -0800 Subject: klist: fix starting point removed bug in klist iterators commit 00cd29b799e3449f0c68b1cc77cd4a5f95b42d17 upstream. The starting node for a klist iteration is often passed in from somewhere way above the klist infrastructure, meaning there's no guarantee the node is still on the list. We've seen this in SCSI where we use bus_find_device() to iterate through a list of devices. In the face of heavy hotplug activity, the last device returned by bus_find_device() can be removed before the next call.

It can actually occur in any hotplug system which has a device finder and a starting device. We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it (and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).
