Open /dev/nbdX first, the config_refs will be 1 and the pointers in nbd_device are still null. Disconnect /dev/nbdX, then reference a null recv_workq. The protection by config_refs in nbd_genl_disconnect is useless. To fix it, just add a check for a non null task_recv in nbd_genl_disconnect.

This doesn't even really protect us, we need to have the nbd->config_lock held
here to make sure it's ok. The IOCTL path is safe because it creates the device
on open so it's sure to exist by the time we get to the disconnect, we don't
have that for genl_disconnect. So I'd add the config_mutex before getting the
config_ref, and then do the check, something like
mutex_lock(&nbd->config_lock);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&nbd->refs)) {
}
if (!nbd->recv_workq) {
}
mutex_unlock(&nbd->config_lock);
Thanks,
