  scsi_transport_sas: fix delete vs scan race (2012-04-10 19:15:23 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
libsas-fixes for 3.4-rc4

Regression fixes to stabilize the new workqueue and ata asynchronous
error handling implementations that were merged for v3.4-rc1.

1/ fix sas_drain_work() which was stomping on 'work' entries while the
   workqueue was manipulating them.  user would see random crashes when
   trying to use scsi_transport_sas attributes for resets, or during
   discovery

2/ (2) longstanding bugs related to the fact that libata (inventor and
   primary host_eh_scheduled user) had built-in assumptions of 1:1
   Scsi_Host-to-ata_port relationship.  The libsas 1:N arrangement
   magnified these problems when it gained async eh and began scheduling
   eh in more scenarios (sas-transports resets) in 3.4-rc1.

3/ lifetime fixes for the rphy since code that has a domain_device
   reference expected to be able to de-reference rphy parameters.

4/ (3) fixes for expander discovery bugs, one a recent regression with
   ata-eh clobbering expander-phy data as it polled leading to system
   crashes, a long standing bug that caused libsas to be
   incompatible with expanders that advertised "PHY_VACANT" in low order
   phy indexes, and a quirk for expanders that sometimes fail to zero
   the sas address when no device is attached.

5/ fix for a long-standing bug whereby hotunplug events during initial
   host scan can cause a system crash

----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a reflow of the 26 patches in the libsas-eh-reworks-v15 branch
to separate out the 12 fixes from the other feature development.  These
patches, save for the new "scsi: fix eh wakeup (scsi_schedule_eh vs
scsi_restart_operations)", were all originally posted before the merge
window opened, and have also appeared in -next for the same timeframe.

There is a mix of pure regression fixes and fixes for long-standing bugs
in libsas.  Some of the long-standing bug fixes are made worse / easier
to trigger by the new async error handling scheme.

The largest patch in the series is "libata, libsas: introduce sched_eh
and end_eh port ops" wants an ack from the ata folks, it has been on the
list since March 10th.

Dan Williams (10):
      libsas: introduce sas_work to fix sas_drain_work vs sas_queue_work
      libata, libsas: introduce sched_eh and end_eh port ops
      libsas: fix sas_get_port_device regression
      libsas: unify domain_device sas_rphy lifetimes
      libsas: fix ata_eh clobbering ex_phys via smp_ata_check_ready
      libata: make ata_print_id atomic
      libsas, libata: fix start of life for a sas ata_port
      scsi: fix eh wakeup (scsi_schedule_eh vs scsi_restart_operations)
      libsas: fix false positive 'device attached' conditions
      scsi_transport_sas: fix delete vs scan race

Maciej Trela (1):
      libsas: cleanup spurious calls to scsi_schedule_eh

Thomas Jackson (1):
      libsas: fix sas_find_bcast_phy() in the presence of 'vacant' phys
