I think before calling the code below you need to check if a nl command is even waiting. If you just run this with no nl commands waiting then next time we send a command nl_cmd->complete will be true and tcmu_wait_genl_cmd_reply's wait_event call will return right away. > + nl_cmd->complete = true; > + nl_cmd->status = -EINTR; > + wake_up(&udev->complete_wq); Instead of the code above, I think you need to take some of the guts out of tcmu_genl_cmd_done to handle removal which is an odd cases due to the refcoutning/locking and configfs use. For non removal commands we need to do a target_undepend_item. For remove, we don't want to since we came through configfs and teardown already started. So instead of the above lines take: if (nl_cmd->cmd != completed_cmd) { printk(KERN_ERR "Mismatched commands (Expecting reply for %d. Current %d).\n", completed_cmd, nl_cmd->cmd); ret = -EINVAL; } else { nl_cmd->status = rc; } // Note: I changed this from the is_removed if (completed_cmd != TCMU_CMD_REMOVED_DEVICE) target_undepend_item(&dev->dev_group.cg_item); if (!ret) { nl_cmd->complete = true; wake_up(&udev->complete_wq); } from tcmu_genl_cmd_done and make a function that takes the status code and completed_cmd.

Do you mean take the code above you pasted by introducing target_undepend_item() for none removal paths just like in tcmu_genl_cmd_done() does? While in tcmu_genl_cmd_done(), the target_depend_item() is called by target_find_device() and then it should do target_undepend_item() after that, but in reset_netlink_store(), should it need target_undepend_item() ? If so they won't be in pairs. I think we should only take this part: if (nl_cmd->cmd != completed_cmd) { printk(KERN_ERR "Mismatched commands (Expecting reply for %d. Current %d).\n", completed_cmd, nl_cmd->cmd); ret = -EINVAL; } else { nl_cmd->status = rc; } from the tcmu_genl_cmd_done(), right ?

From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@redhat.com> This patch adds 1 tcmu attr to reset and complete all the blocked netlink waiting threads. It's used when the userspace daemon like tcmu-runner has crashed or forced to shutdown just before the netlink requests be replied to the kernel, then the netlink requeting threads will get stuck forever. We must reboot the machine to recover from it and by this the rebootng is not a must then. The Call Trace will be something like:
