When removing the HBA or port there's a device_del() inversion
in sas_deform_port().
If there's only one phy it will call sas_unregister_domain_devices(),
which in turn might remove any phys and end_devices asynchronously
via the DISCE_DESTRUCT event.
But then it goes ahead and calls sas_port_delete() before the DISCE_DESTRUCT
event had a chance to run.
Consequently the port is removed before the phy, and we're getting
nasty kernel WARNING like


Hi Hannes,

Your solution looks similar to what Dan tried originally to fix this, here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143459794823595&w=2

As I recall, I was getting a NULL dereference with his.

Anyway, have you tried removing a disk from an expander? I don't see how this is fixed-up in your patch. I quickly tested and I see the WARN. However just removing a directly attached disk looked ok.

BTW, another colleague of mine has taken over the work we were doing on this topic. I reviewed internally the candidate patchset yesterday, and it still has a few issues; here's that patchset:

All the best,
John

This patch moves the call to sas_port_delete() into the DISCE_DESTRUCT
handler to ensure that devices are removed in the correct order.
