PATCH 1/1 IB/srp: Process REQ_PREEMPT requests correctly

Delay REQ_PREEMPT requests submitted against a blocked device until the device is unblocked by returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY to the SCSI mid-layer. This avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:

What is the case where a driver blocks the device and can handle or wants commands? iSCSI and FC also do not want commands, even PREEMPT ones, at this time. It looks like they have been hitting internal checks to prevent hitting similar issues.

I think I figured this out. I think we want to change the scsi_prep_state_check check instead of each driver/class.

It looks like for the SDEV_QUIESCE state we want to allow REQ_PREEMPT commands. James would know best, but I think SPI needs that ability.

For SDEV_BLOCK/SDEV_CREATED_BLOCK, it looks like drivers/classes that use that state do not want any commands to be queued at that time, because the transport is normally down.

Hello Mike,

Is something like the patch below what you had in mind ?

[PATCH] Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

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:
