If an error occurs on one of the ios used for creating an association, the creating routine has error paths that are invoked by the command failure and the error paths will free up the controller resources created to that point. But... the io was ultimately determined by an asynchronous completion routine that detected the error and which unconditionally invokes the error_recovery path which calls delete_association. Delete association deletes all outstanding io then tears down the controller resources. So the create_association thread can be running in parallel with the error_recovery thread. What was seen was the LLDD received a call to delete a queue, causing the LLDD to do a free of a resource, then the transport called the delete queue again causing the driver to repeat the free call. The second free routine corrupted the allocator. The transport shouldn't be making the duplicate call, and the delete queue is just one of the resources being freed. To fix, it is realized that the create_association path is completely serialized with one command at a time. So the failed io completion will always be seen by the create_association path and as of the failure, there are no ios to terminate and there is no reason to be manipulating queue freeze states, etc. The serialized condition stays true until the controller is transitioned to the LIVE state. Thus the fix is to change the error recovery path to check the controller state and only invoke the teardown path if not already in the CONNECTING state.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
