The driver had been unlinking the namespace head from the subsystem's list only after the last reference was released, and outside of the list's subsys->lock protection. There is no reason to track an empty head, so unlink the entry from the subsystem's list when the last namespace using that head is removed and with the mutex lock protecting the list update. The next namespace to attach reusing the previous NSID will allocate a new head rather than find the old head with mismatched identifiers.

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.
