Dan,

So, you are seeing sas_ata_task_done() trying to get the ata_port lock,
but it has already been taken earlier in the code path?

ata_scsi_queuecmd (spin_lock_irqsave(ap->lock, irq_flags)
    __ata_scsi_queuecmd
      ata_scsi_translate
        ata_qc_issue
          sas_ata_qc_issue
            isci_task_execute_task
              isci_task_complete_for_upper_layer
                sas_ata_task_done
(spin_lock_irqsave(dev->sata_dev.ap->lock, flags)
Exactly.

sas_device_gone() should prevent an lldd from ever attempting an i/o to a missing sata device (one that has been notified via lldd_dev_gone). Although, I have only had time to verify the simple unplug case and sync-cache commands at driver unload. We'll still need to handle missing ssp devices, but there are no lldd-external locking concerns in that path.

Dan,

One other question, should sas_device_gone() be sync'ing with sata io
thru ata port lock instead of the Scsi_Host lock?

Looking at sas_queuecommand, the host_lock is released and the ata
port lock is taken before calling ata_sas_queuecmd, and ata port lock is held
down the __ata_scsi_queuecmd path.

Should sas_device_gone get the ap->lock from the domain_device->
sata_dev to better sync against sata io?

Unless I am mistaken they are one in the same, see ata_sas_port_alloc:

struct ata_port *ata_sas_port_alloc(struct ata_host *host,
                                    struct ata_port_info *port_info,
                                    struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
        struct ata_port *ap;

        ap = ata_port_alloc(host);
        if (!ap)
                return NULL;

        ap->port_no = 0;
        ap->lock = shost->host_lock;
        ap->pio_mask = port_info->pio_mask;
        ap->mwdma_mask = port_info->mwdma_mask;
        ap->udma_mask = port_info->udma_mask;
        ap->flags |= port_info->flags;
        ap->ops = port_info->port_ops;
        ap->cbl = ATA_CBL_SATA;

        return ap;
}

Your right, thanks.

David
