Head off doomed-to-fail i/o in sas_queuecommand before sending it down the ata path.

Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is neither critical, nor complete (i/o can still sneak in after the check), but it makes device removal cleaner in the nominal case (sync cache commands triggered by scsi_target removal never enter ata_sas_queuecmd()). However, with the pending/more critical "libsas: fix/amend device gone notification in sas_deform_port()" we could go all the way and make it impossible to submit i/o to a sata device that libsas has marked as gone, and delete the gone check that happens in sas_ata_qc_issue(). But, that is encoding more libsas/libata host_lock assumptions... -- Dan [1]: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=129791105419577&w=2 drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c | 14 +++++++------- 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c b/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c index 1787bd2..ce3efff 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c @@ -218,6 +218,13 @@ int sas_queuecommand(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd, struct sas_ha_struct *sas_ha = dev->port->ha; struct sas_task *task; + /* If the device fell off, no sense in issuing commands */ + if (dev->gone) { + cmd->result = DID_BAD_TARGET << 16; + scsi_done(cmd); + goto out; + } + if (dev_is_sata(dev)) { unsigned long flags; @@ -228,13 +235,6 @@ int sas_queuecommand(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd, goto out; } - /* If the device fell off, no sense in issuing commands */ - if (dev->gone) { - cmd->result = DID_BAD_TARGET << 16; - scsi_done(cmd); - goto out; - } - res = -ENOMEM; task = sas_create_task(cmd, dev, GFP_ATOMIC); if (!task) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
