These patches fix the following two cases. 1. Devices going away while scsi device hander's activate is still in progress. 2. Removal of scsi_dh_data(calling detach handler) when scsi device hander's activate is still in progress. We have been seeing these problems while running multipath failover tests on LSI storage. These patches fix the problem. We have verified it. Here is the panic we have been seeing while running failover failback tests. > 00:40:42:869 COM1 >------------[ cut here ]------------ > 00:40:42:869 COM1 >kernel BUG at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/lsi- > scsi_dh_rdac-01.00/obj/default/scsi_dh_rdac.c:232! > 00:40:42:869 COM1 >invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP > 00:40:42:885 COM1 >last sysfs file: /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum > 00:40:42:885 COM1 >CPU 3 > 00:40:42:885 COM1 >Modules linked in: dm_round_robin dm_multipath > nls_utf8 cifs(X) microcode af_packet ipv6 fuse loop dm_mod iTCO_wdt > iTCO_vendor_support dcdbas(X) pcspkr rtc_cmos rtc_core serio_raw > rtc_lib i5000_edac edac_core bnx2 shpchp sg pci_hotplug button > mptctl usbhid hid ff_memless uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore sd_mod > crc_t10dif mpt2sas(N) raid_class edd ext3 mbcache jbd fan > ide_pci_generic piix ide_core ata_generic ata_piix libata dock > mptsas mptscsih mptbase scsi_transport_sas thermal processor > thermal_sys hwmon scsi_dh_rdac(X) scsi_dh scsi_mod > 00:40:42:932 COM1 >Supported: No > 00:40:42:932 COM1 >Pid: 14044, comm: kmpath_handlerd Tainted: G > 2.6.27.39-0.3-default #1 > 00:40:42:932 COM1 >RIP: 0010: > rdac_activate+0x257/0x387 [scsi_dh_rdac] > 00:40:42:947 COM1 >RSP: 0018:ffff880127109dc0 EFLAGS: 00010246 > 00:40:42:947 COM1 >RAX: ffff8800ae02f000 RBX: 0000000000000001 RCX: > 0000000000000018 > 00:40:42:963 COM1 >RDX: 0000000000001bbc RSI: 0000000000000282 RDI: > ffff8800c2ccd918 > 00:40:42:963 COM1 >RBP: 00000000fffffffb R08: ffffffff806eaf78 R09: > ffff880028087720 > 00:40:42:963 COM1 >R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff80284ebe R12: > ffffffffa0030fbe > 00:40:42:978 COM1 >R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000282 R15: > 0000000000000000 > 00:40:42:978 COM1 >FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88012fb81ec0 > (0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > 00:40:42:978 COM1 >CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b > 00:40:42:994 COM1 >CR2: 00000000f7701630 CR3: 0000000101d5e000 CR4: > 00000000000006e0 > 00:40:42:994 COM1 >DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: > 0000000000000000 > 00:40:43:010 COM1 >DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: > 0000000000000400 > 00:40:43:010 COM1 >Process kmpath_handlerd (pid: 14044, threadinfo > ffff880127108000, task ffff88012710e680) > 00:40:43:010 COM1 >Stack: ffff880127109ec0 ffffffff8049c431 > 0000000000000000 ffff880127109e50 > 00:40:43:025 COM1 > ffff8800ae02f000 ffff8800b5032208 > ffff8800b5032200 ffff8800ae02f250 > 00:40:43:025 COM1 > ffff8800b5032216 0000000580a33680 > ffff8800c2ccd6b0 ffff8800ae02f120 > 00:40:43:041 COM1 >Call Trace: > 00:40:43:041 COM1 > scsi_dh_activate+0x81/0x9b[scsi_dh] > 00:40:43:041 COM1 > activate_path+0x22/0x46 > [dm_multipath] > 00:40:43:041 COM1 > run_workqueue+0x7a/0x100 > 00:40:43:057 COM1 > worker_thread+0xd8/0xe7 > 00:40:43:057 COM1 > kthread+0x47/0x73 > 00:40:43:057 COM1 > child_rip+0xa/0x11 > 00:40:43:057 COM1 > > 00:40:43:057 COM1 > > 00:40:43:057 COM1 >Code: 4c 89 ea e8 78 dd 30 e0 4c 89 ef 89 c5 e8 > db a8 30 e0 85 ed 0f 84 da 00 00 00 48 8b 44 24 20 4c 8b a8 d0 05 00 > 00 4d 85 ed 75 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 48 8b 7c 24 40 48 8d 54 24 60 be 60 > 00 00 00 e8 ae > 00:40:43:072 COM1 >RIP rdac_activate+0x257/ > 0x387 [scsi_dh_rdac] > 00:40:43:088 COM1 > RSP <ffff880127109dc0> > 00:40:43:088 COM1 >---[ end trace 00e89c598c82483b ]--- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
