CVE-2024-42289: scsi: qla2xxx: During vport delete send async logout explicitly
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: During vport delete send async logout explicitly
During vport delete, it is observed that during unload we hit a crash because of stale entries in outstanding command array. For all these stale I/O entries, ehabort was issued and aborted (fastfailio = 2009h) but I/Os could not complete while vport delete is in process of deleting.
