[PATCH] ata: do not schedule hot plug if it is a sas host

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We've got a kernel panic when using sata disk with sas controller:

We found that Ding Xiang has reported a similar bug before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9179817/

And this bug still exists in mainline. Since libsas handles hotplug and
device adding/removing itself, do not need to schedule ata hot plug task
here if it is a sas host.
