[SCSI] scsi_transport_fc: Fix deadlock during fc_remove_host
Creating and destroying fcoe interface in a tight loop leads to a system deadlock with the following call traces: Call Trace: [<ffffffff814f4b3d>] schedule_timeout+0x1fd/0x2c0 [<ffffffff814f469f>] ? wait_for_common+0x4f/0x190 [<ffffffff814f469f>] ? wait_for_common+0x4f/0x190 [<ffffffff814f4737>] wait_for_common+0xe7/0x190 [<ffffffff81042fa0>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x20 [<ffffffff81082c2d>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff814f48bd>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81066d90>] flush_workqueue+0x290/0x5f0 [<ffffffff81066b00>] ? flush_workqueue+0x0/0x5f0 [<ffffffff81067148>] destroy_workqueue+0x38/0x340 [<ffffffffa0260289>] fc_remove_host+0x1b9/0x1f0 [scsi_transport_fc] [<ffffffffa02ed195>] bnx2fc_if_destroy+0xc5/0x1f0 [bnx2fc] [<ffffffffa02ed33a>] bnx2fc_destroy+0x7a/0x100 [bnx2fc] [<ffffffffa02c789b>] fcoe_transport_destroy+0x9b/0x1b0 [libfcoe] [<ffffffff81069ec2>] param_attr_store+0x52/0x80 [<ffffffff81069976>] module_attr_store+0x26/0x30 [<ffffffff8119e726>] sysfs_write_file+0xe6/0x170 [<ffffffff81134710>] vfs_write+0xd0/0x1a0 [<ffffffff811348e4>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [<ffffffff81002e02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Call Trace: [<ffffffff81074865>] async_synchronize_cookie_domain+0x75/0x120 [<ffffffff8106caa0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff81074925>] async_synchronize_cookie+0x15/0x20 [<ffffffff8107494c>] async_synchronize_full+0x1c/0x40 [<ffffffffa0057466>] sd_remove+0x36/0xc0 [sd_mod] [<ffffffff81358a75>] __device_release_driver+0x75/0xe0 [<ffffffff81358bef>] device_release_driver+0x2f/0x50 [<ffffffff81357aee>] bus_remove_device+0xbe/0x120 [<ffffffff813553ef>] device_del+0x12f/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8137454d>] __scsi_remove_device+0xbd/0xc0 [<ffffffff81374585>] scsi_remove_device+0x35/0x50 [<ffffffff813746a7>] __scsi_remove_target+0xe7/0x110 [<ffffffff81374730>] ? __remove_child+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff81374753>] __remove_child+0x23/0x30 [<ffffffff81354a2c>] device_for_each_child+0x4c/0x80 [<ffffffff81374703>] scsi_remove_target+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffffa02622c6>] fc_starget_delete+0x26/0x30 [scsi_transport_fc] [<ffffffffa026271a>] fc_rport_final_delete+0xaa/0x200 [scsi_transport_fc] [<ffffffff8106585a>] process_one_work+0x1aa/0x540 [<ffffffff810657eb>] ? process_one_work+0x13b/0x540 [<ffffffffa0262670>] ? fc_rport_final_delete+0x0/0x200 [scsi_transport_fc] [<ffffffff81067ac9>] worker_thread+0x179/0x410 [<ffffffff81067950>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x410 [<ffffffff8106c546>] kthread+0xb6/0xc0 [<ffffffff8103879b>] ? finish_task_switch+0x4b/0xe0 [<ffffffff81003ca4>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff814f7994>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8106c490>] ? kthread+0x0/0xc0 [<ffffffff81003ca0>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 fc_remove_host() waits for flushing the workqueue, but it is stuck at flushing the first work. The first work doesnt complete, because it is waiting for async layer to complete the IOs. The async layer cannot complete the IO as the terminate_rport_io for the second work was not called, which will be called only when the first work completes. Hence the deadlock. To resolve this deadlock, the workqueue allocation has been modified from create_singlethread_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue(). In addition, fc_terminate_rport_io() should be called before the scsi_flush_work() to avoid the similar deadlock as above. scsi fc alloc queue. move terminate rport io before flush Signed-off-by: Nithin Nayak Sujir <nsujir@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Bhanu Prakash Gollapudi <bprakash@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
