Hello Jens, It is known that during the resume following a hibernate, especially when using an md RAID1 array created on top of SCSI devices, sometimes the system hangs instead of coming up properly. This patch series fixes this problem. This patch series is an alternative for Ming Lei's "[PATCH V5 0/10] block/scsi: safe SCSI quiescing" patch series. The advantages of this patch series are: - Easier to review because no new race conditions are introduced between queue freezing and blk_cleanup_queue(). As the discussion that followed Ming's patch series shows the correctness of the new code is hard to verify. - No new freeze modes and hence no new freeze mode variables. These patches have been tested on top of a merge of the block layer for-next branch and Linus' master tree. Linus' master tree includes patch "KVM: x86: Fix the NULL pointer parameter in check_cr_write()" but the block layer for-next branch not yet. Please consider these changes for kernel v4.15. Thanks, Bart. Changes between v3 and v4: - Made sure that this patch series not only works for scsi-mq but also for the legacy SCSI stack. - Removed an smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() pair from the hot path and added a comment that explains why that is safe. - Reordered the patches in this patch series. Changes between v2 and v3: - Made md kernel threads freezable. - Changed the approach for quiescing SCSI devices again. - Addressed Ming's review comments. Changes compared to v1 of this patch series: - Changed the approach and rewrote the patch series.
