[PATCH v5 0/4] Avoid that __scsi_remove_device() hangs

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

 



__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 v4:
- Fixed the deadlock reported by the 0-day bot by changing a blk_put_request()
  call into __blk_put_request().

Changes compared to v3:
- Removed the logging statements from sd_sync_cache_done() that triggered
  a crash due to a use-after-free.

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
