Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<00000000003ff7cc>] scsi_remove_device+0x3c/0x54 The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the call to scsi_remove_device.
