Subject: [bug report] scsi: libsas: Fix hung when disable phys


Hi, All

If disabling remote PHY just after disabling all local PHYs in expander
envirnment,as follows:
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:0/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:1/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:2/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:3/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:4/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:5/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:6/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4\:7/enable
echo 0 > /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-4:0:7/enable

a hung as follows occurs.

We find that when all local PHYs are disabled, all the devices will be
removed in work PHY_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL which will try to wait the kn->active
of the device to be deactivated (in function kernfs_drain)，but
kn->active may be still activated as we use sysfs interface to disable
remote PHYs at the same time, meanwhile it will drain libsas work
including work PHY_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL in the sysfs interface, so hung
occurs.

How to fix the problem in this scenario?

regards,

Xingui
