Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the refcount of shost->shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects), at this point, if references shost again, system will show following warning msg. To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost, put it just before scsi_host_put() in function scsi_finish_async_scan().
