6.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nilesh Javali commit 06b5b2a5d499323f1c3256ead35798e8e3d15e60 upstream. qla_nvme_ls_abort() and qla_nvme_fcp_abort() take a command reference with kref_get_unless_zero() and then call schedule_work() on priv->abort_work, ignoring its return value. qla_nvme_abort_work() runs once and drops exactly one reference via kref_put(&sp->cmd_kref, sp->put_fn). Since the per-abort INIT_WORK() was moved to submission time, schedule_work() now returns false when the work is already pending, for example on a concurrent transport teardown and timeout-driven abort of the same command. In that case the reference taken for the second abort is never released because the work still executes only once, leaking a reference. The command is then never returned to the NVMe-FC transport, which can hang the port. Drop the reference when schedule_work() returns false, so each kref_get_unless_zero() is balanced regardless of whether the work was newly queued. The held reference keeps priv->sp valid for the put.
