commit 9ff549ffb4fb4cc9a4b24d1de9dc3e68287797c4 upstream.
This patch adds checks for 'ioc->remove_host' in the SCSI error handlers, so not to access pointers/resources potentially freed in the PCI shutdown/module unload path. The error handlers may be invoked after shutdown/unload, depending on other components.
This problem was observed with kexec on a system with a mpt3sas based adapter and an infiniband adapter which takes long enough to shutdown:
The mpt3sas driver finished shutting down / disabled interrupt handling, thus some commands have not finished and timed out.
Since the system was still running (waiting for the infiniband adapter to shutdown), the scsi error handler for task abort of mpt3sas was invoked, and hit an oops -- either in scsih_abort() because 'ioc->scsi_lookup' was NULL without commit dbec4c9040ed ("scsi: mpt3sas: lockless command submission"), or later up in scsih_host_reset() (with or without that commit), because it eventually called mpt3sas_base_get_iocstate().
After the above commit, the oops in scsih_abort() does not occur anymore (_scsih_scsi_lookup_find_by_scmd() is no longer called), but that commit is too big and out of the scope of linux-stable, where this patch might help, so still go for the changes.
Also, this might help to prevent similar errors in the future, in case code changes and possibly tries to access freed stuff.
Note the fix in scsih_host_reset() is still important anyway.

Does not apply to the 4.14.y tree :(
Please provide a working backport if you want me to apply it there.
thanks,
