[PATCH] scsi: fnic: move flush_work initialization out of if block

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

 



After commit 379a58caa199 ("scsi: fnic: Move fnic_fnic_flush_tx() to a work
queue"), it can happen that a work item is sent to an uninitialized work
queue.  This may has the effect that the item being queued is never
actually queued, and any further actions depending on it will not proceed.

The following warning is observed while the fnic driver is loaded:

kernel: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 0 at ../kernel/workqueue.c:1524 __queue_work+0x373/0x410
kernel:  <IRQ>

kernel:  __common_interrupt+0x3b/0xb0
kernel:  common_interrupt+0x58/0xa0
kernel:  </IRQ>

It has been observed that this may break the rediscovery of fibre channel
devices after a temporary fabric failure.

This patch fixes it by moving the work queue initialization out of
an if block in fnic_probe().
