__scsi_remove_device() hangs if it is waiting for the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command submitted by the sd driver to finish if the block layer queue is stopped and does not get restarted. This patch series avoids that that hang occurs. Changes compared to v2: - Moved the "stop_disk" assignment after the sdkp check in the sd driver. - Added a completion function for asynchronous SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. - Added "disk" and "done" arguments to scsi_execute_async(). Changes compared to v1: - Reworked the approach of this patch series. Bart Van Assche (4): Introduce scsi_start_queue() Introduce scsi_execute_async() sd: Make synchronize cache upon shutdown asynchronous Avoid that __scsi_remove_device() hangs drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 114 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- drivers/scsi/scsi_priv.h | 1 + drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c | 9 ++++ drivers/scsi/sd.c | 45 ++++++++++++++++-- include/scsi/scsi_device.h | 5 ++ 5 files changed, 142 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) -- 2.12.2
