Whenever an ATA adapter driver is removed (e.g. rmmod), ata_port_detach() is called repeatedly for all the adapter ports to remove (unload) the devices attached to the port and delete the port device itself. Removing of devices is done using libata EH with the ATA_PFLAG_UNLOADING port flag set. This causes libata EH to execute ata_eh_unload() which disables all devices attached to the port. ata_port_detach() finishes by calling scsi_remove_host() to remove the scsi host associated with the port. This function will trigger the removal of all scsi devices attached to the host and in the case of disks, calls to sd_shutdown() which will flush the device write cache and stop the device. However, given that the devices were already disabled by ata_eh_unload(), the synchronize write cache command and start stop unit commands fail. E.g. running "rmmod ahci" with first removing sd_mod results in error messages like: ata13.00: disable device sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Stopping disk sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Start/Stop Unit failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK Fix this by removing all scsi devices of the ata devices connected to the port before scheduling libata EH to disable the ATA devices.
