Subject: scsi: megaraid_sas: unload flag should be set after scsi_remove_host is called
From: Shivasharan S <shivasharan.srikanteshwara@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f3f7920b3910171b2999c7dc2335eb9f583e44f2 ]
Issue - Driver returns DID_NO_CONNECT when unload is in progress,
indicated using instance->unload flag. In case of dynamic unload of
driver, this flag is set before calling scsi_remove_host(). While doing
manual driver unload, user will see lots of prints for Sync Cache
command with DID_NO_CONNECT status.
Fix - Set the instance->unload flag after scsi_remove_host(). Allow
device removal process to be completed and do not block any command
before that. SCSI commands (like SYNC_CACHE) are received (as part of
scsi_remove_host) by driver during unload will be submitted further down
to the drives.
