Subject: [PATCH] scsi: elx: efct: fix refcount leak in efct_hw_io_abort()
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 13:30:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611053037.63756-1-vulab@iscas.ac.cn> (raw)
When efct_hw_reqtag_alloc() fails in efct_hw_io_abort(), the error
path returns -ENOSPC without releasing the reference obtained via
kref_get_unless_zero() earlier in the function. All other error
paths correctly drop the reference. This causes a permanent
reference leak on the io_to_abort object.
Additionally, the abort_in_progress flag is left set to true on
this path, which means future abort attempts for the same I/O will
immediately return -EINPROGRESS even though the abort was never
submitted, effectively blocking recovery.
Fix this by adding the missing kref_put() call and reset
abort_in_progress to false, matching the cleanup done in the
efct_hw_wq_write() failure path below.
