Subject: [libsas PATCH v12 05/11] scsi_transport_sas: fix delete vs scan race
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 23:32:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120322063219.22036.74949.stgit@dwillia2-linux.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120322063127.22036.23206.stgit@dwillia2-linux.jf.intel.com>

The following crash results from cases where the end_device has been
removed before scsi_sysfs_add_sdev has had a chance to run.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098
 IP: [<ffffffff8115e100>] sysfs_create_dir+0x32/0xb6
 ...
 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff8125e4a8>] kobject_add_internal+0x120/0x1e3

  [<ffffffff8132f348>] scsi_sysfs_add_sdev+0x4e/0x28a
  [<ffffffff8132dcbb>] do_scan_async+0x9c/0x145

...teach sas_rphy_remove to wait for async scanning to quiesce before
removing the end_device.  It seems this is a more general problem [1],
but this patch only addresses sas transport.

[1]: 23edb6e [SCSI] mpt2sas: Do not set sas_device->starget to NULL from
the slave_destroy callback when all the LUNS have been deleted
