kernel might crash in iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_get_param() because it dereference
an invalid address.
The initialization of iscsi_conn's dd_data is after device_register() of
struct iscsi_cls_conn, so iscsi_conn's dd_data might not initialized when
iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_get_param() is called.
Following stack would be reported and kernel would panic.

We are actually doing sysfs/device addition wrong.
We should be doing the 2 step setup where in step 1 we alloc/init.
When everything is allocated and initialized, then we should do
device_add which exposes us to sysfs. On the teardown side, we are
then supposed to do 2 steps where the remove function does device_del
which waits until sysfs accesses are completed. We can then tear
the structs down and free them and call device_put.
The exposure to NL would be similar where it goes into the wrapper
around device_add. However, see my comments on the other patch where
I don't think we can hit the bug you mention because every nl cmd
that calls into the drivers is done under the rx_queue_mutex.
I think we should separate the iscsi_create_conn function like we
do for sessions. This is going to be a little more involved because
you need to also convert iscsi_tcp_conn_setup and the drivers since
we can call into the drivers for the get_conn_param callout.

Is this something you hit or from code review?
We have those state checks:
if ((conn->state == ISCSI_CONN_BOUND) ||
(conn->state == ISCSI_CONN_UP)) {
err = transport->set_param(conn, ev->u.set_param.param,
so we don't call set_param until after we have bound the
connection which will be after ISCSI_UEVENT_CREATE_CONN has returned.
Also for this specific bug iscsi_if_recv_msg is called with the
rx_queue_mutex, so set_param can only be called after the
ISCSI_UEVENT_CREATE_CONN cmd has returned.

It's from code review. I reviewed the code because the panic mentioned
in my first patch. The issue seems would not happen, so just ignore it.

I agree with this, and I would try to split device_add() from
iscsi_create_conn().
What's more I would do some check between sysfs files add/remove and
kernel object initialize/release to make a micro-refactoring

I reviewed the teardown flow of iscsi_cls_conn, it has already written
as what you saied.

I hesitated about when should we call device_add(). I think there are
two places to call it.
The first one is in iscsi_conn_setup(), after some initialization of
conn, it keeps same with previous's implement and need not to change
drivers' code. What's more, the change can fix iscsi_tcp's NULL pointer
access. While this change can not make sure the LLDs related sources
are already initialized when iscsi_cls_conn is exposed to sysfs. It
means LLDs' callback are still responsible to check if the resources are
accessible.
Another one is in create_conn callback for each driver's
iscsi_transport. This need us to change each driver's code.
I send 2 patches which make changes in iscsi_conn_setup(), it's ok with
iscsi_tcp, would you help to review them?
