I Hi Barto, sorry for the late reply, and thanks for drilling down the exact conditions. I think we have some issues with the lack of the host lock vs error handling, but I still don't undertand the details. I've got a test patch for you that just adds the host lock back in a few places while keeing the atomic_t. Can you try to reproduce with that one? When breaking an existing setup in software it's always the softwares fault, btw.. diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c index 994eb08..99b77f7 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c @@ -311,16 +311,16 @@ void scsi_device_unbusy(struct scsi_device *sdev) struct scsi_target *starget = scsi_target(sdev); unsigned long flags; + spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags); atomic_dec(&shost->host_busy); if (starget->can_queue > 0) atomic_dec(&starget->target_busy); if (unlikely(scsi_host_in_recovery(shost) && (shost->host_failed || shost->host_eh_scheduled))) { - spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags); scsi_eh_wakeup(shost); - spin_unlock_irqrestore(shost->host_lock, flags); } + spin_unlock_irqrestore(shost->host_lock, flags); atomic_dec(&sdev->device_busy); } @@ -1504,6 +1504,8 @@ static inline int scsi_host_queue_ready(struct request_queue *q, if (scsi_host_in_recovery(shost)) return 0; + spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock); + busy = atomic_inc_return(&shost->host_busy) - 1; if (atomic_read(&shost->host_blocked) > 0) { if (busy) @@ -1527,21 +1529,19 @@ static inline int scsi_host_queue_ready(struct request_queue *q, /* We're OK to process the command, so we can't be starved */ if (!list_empty(&sdev->starved_entry)) { - spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock); if (!list_empty(&sdev->starved_entry)) list_del_init(&sdev->starved_entry); - spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock); } + spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock); return 1; starved: - spin_lock_irq(shost->host_lock); if (list_empty(&sdev->starved_entry)) list_add_tail(&sdev->starved_entry, &shost->starved_list); - spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock); out_dec: atomic_dec(&shost->host_busy); + spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock); return 0; } -- 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
