[PATCH 1/3] libsas: flush initial device discovery before completing ->scan_finished()

From: Dan Williams <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-03 18:36:22
Also in: linux-scsi
Subsystem: pmc sierra pm8001 driver, scsi libsas subsystem, scsi subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Jack Wang, "James E.J. Bottomley", "Martin K. Petersen", Linus Torvalds

During initial scan libsas drivers start their phys and notify libsas
with PORTE_BYTES_DMAED events as port links are established.  This
notification in turn causes libsas to post DISCE_DISCOVER_DOMAIN events
to the queue.  Calling scsi_flush_work() at the end of scan_finished
guarantees that all preceding PORTE_BYTES_DMAED events have been
registered in the queue, but it does not guarantee that the resulting
DISCE_DISCOVER_DOMAIN events have been processed because
flush_workqueue() explicitly avoids live-locking with incoming work.

Introduce sas_flush_discovery() to guarantee that all initial discovery
events have completed.  It is called after the driver determines all
initial PORTE_BYTES_DMAED events have had a chance to enter the queue.
This does not cover BCNs that are generated during expander bring up,
only the initial sas_discover_domain() event.
