The firmware log mmap path has two related lifetime issues. VMA clones drop Scsi_Host references that they never acquired, and device removal can free the coherent log buffer while mmap is still setting up a VMA. Patch 1 gives each VMA its own host device reference. Patch 2 claims a temporary mmap activity reference under the adapter-list lock so teardown cannot miss an in-progress mapping. Patch 2 depends on patch 1: patch 1 keeps adapter non-NULL on the successful mmap path, allowing patch 2 to drop the temporary mmap reference at out_put. Applied alone, patch 2 would leak that reference and make teardown wait indefinitely. Neither patch has been tested on hardware; both are derived from the reference counting and locking in the code.
