[PATCH 1/2] scsi: core: avoid leaving shost->last_reset with stale value if EH does not run

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

 



The changes to issue the abort from the scmd->abort_work instead of the EH
thread introduced a problem if eh_deadline is used.  If aborting the command(s)
is successful, and there are never any scmds added to the shost->eh_cmd_q,
there is no code path which will reset the ->last_reset value back to zero.

The effect of this is that after a successful abort with no EH thread activity,
a subsequent timeout, perhaps a long time later, might immediately be considered
past a user-set eh_deadline time, and the host will be reset with no attempt at
recovery.

Fix this by resetting ->last_reset back to zero in scmd_eh_abort_handler()
if it is determined that the EH thread will not run to do this.

Thanks to Gopinath Marappan for investigating this problem.
