Subject: [PATCH 4.4 75/86] scsi: core: Dont start concurrent async scan on same host

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 831e3405c2a344018a18fcc2665acc5a38c3a707 ]

The current scanning mechanism is supposed to fall back to a synchronous
host scan if an asynchronous scan is in progress. However, this rule isn't
strictly respected, scsi_prep_async_scan() doesn't hold scan_mutex when
checking shost->async_scan. When scsi_scan_host() is called concurrently,
two async scans on same host can be started and a hang in do_scan_async()
is observed.

Fixes this issue by checking & setting shost->async_scan atomically with
shost->scan_mutex.
