When a scsi_device is unpluged from scsi controller, if the scsi_device is still be used by application layer,it won't be released until users release it. In this case, scsi_device_remove just set the scsi_device's state to be SDEV_DEL. But if you plug the disk just before the old scsi_device is released, then there will be two scsi_device structures in scsi_host->__devices. when the next unpluging event happens,some low-level drivers will check whether the scsi_device has been added to host (for example, the megaraid sas series controller) by calling scsi_device_lookup(call __scsi_device_lookup) in function megasas_aen_polling.__scsi_device_lookup will return the first scsi_device. Because its state is SDEV_DEL, the scsi_device_lookup will return NULL finally, making the low-level driver assume that the scsi_device has been removed,and won't call scsi_device_remove,which will lead the failure of hot swap.
