[PATCH 0/2] Ensure that the SCSI error handler gets woken up

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

 



Hello Martin,

As reported by Pavel Tikhomirov it can happen that the SCSI error handler does
not get woken up. This is very annoying because it results in a queue
stall. The two patches in this series address this issue without acquiring the
SCSI host lock in the hot path. Please consider these patches for kernel
v4.16.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v1:
- Ensure that host_lock is held while checking host_failed.
- Moved the lockdep_assert_held() change into a separate patch.
