From 78c9672f78f8bdf6321f6bead28c7dbd251ddd24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Jeffery Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:39:54 -0500 Subject: SCSI: qla2xxx: Test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED atomically. commit a394aac88506159e047630fc90dc2242568382d8 upstream. When the qla2xxx driver loses access to multiple, remote ports, there is a race condition which can occur which will keep the request stuck on a scsi request queue indefinitely. This bad state occurred do to a race condition with how the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is set in qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and how it is cleared in qla2x00_do_dpc(). The problem port has its drport pointer set, but it has never been processed by the driver to inform the fc transport that the port has been lost. qla2x00_schedule_rport_del() sets drport, and then sets the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit. In qla2x00_do_dpc(), the port lists are walked and any drport pointer is handled and the fc transport informed of the port loss, then the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is cleared. This leaves a race where the dpc thread is processing one port removal, another port removal is marked with a call to qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and the dpc thread clears the bit for both removals, even though only the first removal was actually handled. Until another event occurs to set FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED, the later port removal is never finished and qla2xxx stays in a bad state which causes requests to become stuck on request queues. This patch updates the driver to test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED atomically. This ensures the port state changes are processed and not lost.
