Hi all,
I managed to (hopefully) fix an kernel Oops on rmmod usb-storage.
The Oops we got was something like:
usbcore: deregistering driver usb-storage
scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 0 channel 0
id 0 lun 0
sr 0:0:0:0: Illegal state transition cancel->offline
Badness in scsi_device_set_state at drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1688
[<e12bab6e>] scsi_device_set_state+0x9e/0xd0 [scsi_mod]
[<e12b8a6e>] scsi_eh_offline_sdevs+0x4e/0x70 [scsi_mod]
[<e12b8f1a>] scsi_unjam_host+0x9a/0x1b0 [scsi_mod]

[<e12b9030>] scsi_error_handler+0x0/0x160 [scsi_mod]
[<c0104255>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10
It turned out that in drivers/scsi/hosts.c:scsi_remove_host()
first the host is removed with scsi_forget_host() and _then_ all
outstanding I/O to this host is cancelled with scsi_host_cancel().
Sounds a bit fishy as scsi_host_cancel() tries to talk to a host which
we just have deleted ...
(Incidentally, this is most likely the same bug as Bug #2752 and #3480
from bugme.osdl.org :-).
(And also #133249 from bugzilla.redhat.com :-).
The attached patch corrects this.
Please apply.
Cheers,
Hannes

This is the same oops I see if I rmmod a scsi driver during error

Its nothing to do with USB, rmmod with eh running crashes all the other
SCSI drivers I've tested too. After the state transition fails you get
kobject related errors and a crash.
That makes me suspect whatever is ill is in the scsi core.

This isn't an oops, it's a state transition warning. Apparently the
customary attempt to cancel the commands failed. This is really only a
warning and will probably go away eventually (we'll just silently fail
the transition attempt).

No, the patch is wrong. we do forget first to make the host
inaccessible from above then cancel the outstanding commands.
The key to the solution of this problem is to know what USB is trying to
do with the dead device. SCSI is trying to be polite and explicitly
kill the outstanding commands before it removes the HBA. Presumably USB
is returning something that says this can't be done so the EH gets all
the way up to offlining.
Also, please at least cc linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org on SCSI problems.
Thanks,
James

There is no crash in the log ... there was only a state transition
complaint.
I think the solution is in the eh and its simply not to try to ready the
device on SDEV_CANCEL (no point readying a device you're being asked to
kill).

Oh, that can be fixed. Attached is the full trace (including USB
debugging output).
It does crash. Hard.

OK, looks like a refcounting problem again.
Try the attached and see if it goes away.

OK, I have a definite theory about this, but it hinges on finding the
above message in the logs.
I think we tried to destroy the command slab while some commands were
still active. The refcounting only applies to in-flight commands, but
commands can also be allocated and queued in the block layer.
If I'm right, the attached will close this refcounting hole.

How can this happen? You're taking the address of dev->sdev_gendev, so it
can't be NULL:
struct device * get_device(struct device * dev)
{
return dev ? to_dev(kobject_get(&dev->kobj)) : NULL;
}
(kobject_get returns its argument).

Just in case we link it into the device state model.
