[PATCH] mpt3sas: Fix kernel panic observed on soft HBA unplug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Generic protection fault type kernel panic is observed when user
performs soft(ordered) HBA unplug operation while IOs are running
on drives connected to HBA.

When user performs ordered HBA removal operation then kernel calls
PCI device's .remove() call back function where driver is flushing out
all the outstanding SCSI IO commands with DID_NO_CONNECT host byte and
also un-maps sg buffers allocated for these IO commands.
But in the ordered HBA removal case (unlike of real HBA hot unplug)
HBA device is still alive and hence HBA hardware is performing the
DMA operations to those buffers on the system memory which are already
unmapped while flushing out the outstanding SCSI IO commands
and this leads to Kernel panic.

Fix:
Don't flush out the outstanding IOs from .remove() path in case of
ordered HBA removal since HBA will be still alive in this case and
it can complete the outstanding IOs. Flush out the outstanding IOs
only in case physical HBA hot unplug where their won't be any
communication with the HBA.
