When I use fio test kernel in the following steps: 1.The sas controller mixes SAS/SATA disks 2.Use fio test all disks 3.Simultaneous enable/disable/link_reset/hard_reset PHY it will hung in ata_port_wait_eh Call trace: __switch_to+0xb4/0x1b8 __schedule+0x1e8/0x718 schedule+0x38/0x90 ata_port_wait_eh+0x70/0xf8 sas_ata_wait_eh+0x24/0x30 [libsas] transport_sas_phy_reset.isra.3+0x128/0x160 [libsas] phy_reset_work+0x20/0x30 [libsas] process_one_work+0x1e4/0x460 worker_thread+0x40/0x450 kthread+0x12c/0x130 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 The key code process is like this: scsi_dec_host_busy atomic_dec(&shost->host_busy); if (unlikely(scsi_host_in_recovery(shost))) { spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags); ... scsi_eh_wakeup(shost) ... } scsi_schedule_eh spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags); if (scsi_host_set_state(shost, SHOST_RECOVERY) == 0 || scsi_host_set_state(shost, SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY) == 0) { ... scsi_eh_wakeup(shost); } scsi_eh_wakeup if (scsi_host_busy(shost) == shost->host_failed) wake_up_process(shost->ehandler); In scsi_dec_host_busy, host_busy & shost_state not in spinlock. Neither function wakes up the SCSI error handler in the following timing: CPU 0(call scsi_dec_host_busy) CPU 1(call scsi_schedule_eh) LOAD shost_state(!=recovery) scsi_host_set_state(SHOST_RECOVERY) scsi_eh_wakeup(host_busy != host_failed) atomic_dec(&shost->host_busy); if (scsi_host_in_recovery(shost)) Add a smp_mb between host_busy and shost_state.
