4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
