From: Glenn Watkins <Glenn.Watkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Under conditions of offlining drives, and rescanning the scsi host,
we can get into situations that the megasas_aen_polling kthread
can crash(GPF) in the megasas_aen_polling work queue:

This can be readily reproduced by a pair of shell scripts - one of which loops on
onlining / offlining drives via MegaCli (or storcli, if you prefer)
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 pdoffline physdrv[32:0] a0 &>2
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 pdoffline physdrv[32:11] a0 &>2
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 pdonline physdrv[32:0] a0 &>2
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 pdonline physdrv[32:11] a0 &>2
done
Meanwhile, the second script is looping on rescanning the scsi hosts:
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
for (( l=0; l<4; l++ )); do
echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/host$l/scan
done
done
This was originally introduced in the following commit:

[SCSI] megaraid_sas: Add the support for updating the OS after adding/removing the devices from FW
The fix for this is to add some locking around the AEN polling.
Since this affects all kernels since 2.6.33, I have also CC'ed the stable list.
