For FCP-2 device, IO's can hang\non in HW because driver has not tear down the session in FW at\nfirst sign of cable pull. When dev_loss_tmo timer pops,\nterminate_rport_io is called and upper layer is about to\nfree various resources. Terminate_rport_io trigger qla to do\nthe final cleanup, but the cleanup might not be fast enough where it\nleave qla still holding on to the same resource.\n\nWait for IO's to return to upper layer before resources are freed.","published":"2025-09-16T17:15:38.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-04T10:19:02.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00214,"percentile":0.11642,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.21%).
