[PATCH 6.12.y] nvmet-auth: Synchronize timeout work during SQ teardown

From: Kazuki Hanai <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-09 12:41:08
Subsystem: nvm express fabrics authentication, nvm express target driver, the rest · Maintainers: Hannes Reinecke, Christoph Hellwig, Sagi Grimberg, Chaitanya Kulkarni, Linus Torvalds

nvmet_auth_sq_free() cancels auth_expired_work with
cancel_delayed_work(). If the work has already started, cancellation does
not wait for the callback. Transport teardown can consequently free or
reuse the queue containing struct nvmet_sq while
nvmet_auth_expired_work() still accesses that SQ.

Add a teardown-specific helper that synchronously drains the delayed work
before freeing authentication state, and use it from nvmet_sq_destroy().
Keep the non-synchronous helper for in-band authentication state cleanup,
where the SQ owner remains alive.
