The ndlp kref count implementation in lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk() removes the initial node reference when a vport is unloading. When lpfc_cleanup() sends a DEVICE_RM event and is in NPR state, the driver calls lpfc_drop_node(). Subsequently, lpfc_drop_node() also removes an ndlp kref thinking it is the initial reference. This unintentionally introduces an extra kref decrement on the ndlp object. Fix by using the NLP_DROPPED node flag in lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk() and lpfc_drop_node() to coordinate the removal of the initial node reference. In lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk(), remove the SCSI transport reference provided the node is registered in the dev_loss context because the driver cannot call the SCSI transport in dev_loss context or afterwards. And, have lpfc_drop_node() not remove a reference if another thread is acting or has already acted on it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
