The discovering of sas port is driving by workqueue in libsas. When libsas is processing port events or phy events in workqueue, new evnets may rise up and change the state of some structures such as asd_sas_phy. This may cause some problems such as follows: ==>thread 1 ==>thread 2 ==>phy up ==>phy_up_v3_hw() ==>oob_mode = SATA_OOB_MODE; ==>phy donw quickly ==>hisi_sas_phy_down() ==>sas_ha->notify_phy_event() ==>sas_phy_disconnected() ==>oob_mode = OOB_NOT_CONNECTED ==>workqueue wakeup ==>sas_form_port() ==>sas_discover_domain() ==>sas_get_port_device() ==>oob_mode is OOB_NOT_CONNECTED and device is wrongly taken as expander This at last lead to the panic when libsas trying to issue a command to discover the device.
