Subsequently, if the owner releases vhost_scsi, the assertion `BUG_ON(sd->s_dependent_count < 1)` will be triggerred, terminating the  target_undepend_item() procedure and leaving `configfs_dirent_lock` locked. If user enters configfs afterward, the CPU will become locked up.
> This issue occurs because vhost_scsi_set_endpoint() allocates a new `vs_tpg` to hold the tpg array and copies all the old tpg entries into it before proceeding. When the new target is busy, the controw flow falls back to the `undepend` label, cause ing all the target `tpg` entries to be unreferenced, including the old one, which is still in use.
