If the ATA device fell off, call sas_ata_device_link_abort() directly and
mark all outstanding QCs as failed and kick-off EH Immediately. This avoids

Firstly, I think that there is a bug in sas_ata_device_link_abort() -> ata_link_abort() code in that the host lock in not grabbed, as the comment in ata_port_abort() mentions. Having said that, libsas had already some dodgy host locking usage - specifically dropping the lock for the queuing path (that's something else to be fixed up ... I think that is due to queue command CB calling task_done() in some cases), but I still think that sas_ata_device_link_abort() should be fixed (to grab the host lock).

Secondly, this just seems like a half solution to the age-old problem - that is, EH eventually kicking in only after 30 seconds when a disk is removed with active IO. I say half solution as SAS disks still have this issue for libsas. Can we instead push to try to solve both of them now?

There was a broad previous discussion on this:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/Ykqg0kr0F*2Fyzk2XW@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/__;JQ!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!MwAZFXXIwuP0lv-kuUIJ0ekUiGBWlTBhU3oQjyOf_yuP1rHDJb8UKMzJjndXNQ-W1PQGJXzgc0bQUsHh4NGh21EOc50$

From that discussion, Hannes was doing some related prep work series, but I don't think it got completed.

Thanks,
John
