This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled scsi: restart list search after unlock in scsi_remove_target to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt1. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 70aebb5a3f42d3a7859ba560cb22cb2b4ce20f9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:35:46 +0200 Subject: scsi: restart list search after unlock in scsi_remove_target commit 40998193560dab6c3ce8d25f4fa58a23e252ef38 upstream. When dropping a lock while iterating a list we must restart the search as other threads could have manipulated the list under us. Without this we can get stuck in an endless loop. This bug was introduced by commit bc3f02a795d3b4faa99d37390174be2a75d091bd Author: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Date: Tue Aug 28 22:12:10 2012 -0700 [SCSI] scsi_remove_target: fix softlockup regression on hot remove Which was itself trying to fix a reported soft lockup issue http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1348679 However, we believe even with this revert of the original patch, the soft lockup problem has been fixed by commit f2495e228fce9f9cec84367547813cbb0d6db15a Author: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com> Date: Tue Jan 21 07:01:41 2014 -0800 [SCSI] dual scan thread bug fix Thanks go to Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> for tracking all this prior history down.
