This is version nine of the SCSI device removal patch series. This patch series has been tested by triggering a large number of removals of a SCSI device controlled by the ib_srp LLD and at the same time running an I/O integrity test with fio on a dm device on top of the SRP SCSI device. Changes compared to v8: - Replaced the block layer patch (1/4) by a more comprehensive patch from Muthukumar Ratty. - Added "Reviewed-by: Mike Christie" in patches 2/4..4/4. Changes compared to v7: - Made sure that __scsi_queue_insert() processes the request that has been passed to that function. Added a comment in that function too. - Fixed a typo in the description of the first patch in this series and removed "CC: stable". Changes compared to v6: - Added a fix for a race in the block layer. - Moved a BUG_ON(!sdev) statement up since it's a precondition check. - Changed return type of scsi_queue_insert() from int to void. - Added a cancel_work_sync(&sdev->requeue_work) call in __scsi_remove_device(). Changes compared to v5: - Removed the function scsi_free_queue() and inlined that function in its callers. - Added two additional patches. -- 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
