Subject: scsi: mpt3sas: Stop fw fault watchdog work item during system shutdown
From: David Jeffery <djeffery@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0fde22c5420ed258ee538a760291c2f3935f6a01 upstream.
During system shutdown or reboot, mpt3sas will reset the firmware back to
ready state. However, the driver leaves running a watchdog work item
intended to keep the firmware in operational state. This causes a second,
unneeded reset on shutdown and moves the firmware back to operational
instead of in ready state as intended. And if the mpt3sas_fwfault_debug
module parameter is set, this extra reset also panics the system.
mpt3sas's scsih_shutdown needs to stop the watchdog before resetting the
firmware back to ready state.
