Subject: [PATCH 3.4 143/172] Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@...disk.com>

3.4.108-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b upstream.

SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:
