Maxime Bizon 0caed1faf5 usb-storage: fix deadlock when a scsi command timeouts more than once
commit a398d5eac6984316e71474e25b975688f282379b upstream.

With faulty usb-storage devices, read/write can timeout, in that case
the SCSI layer will abort and re-issue the command. USB storage has no
internal timeout, it relies on SCSI layer aborting commands via
.eh_abort_handler() for non those responsive devices.

After two consecutive timeouts of the same command, SCSI layer calls
.eh_device_reset_handler(), without calling .eh_abort_handler() first.

With usb-storage, this causes a deadlock:

  -> .eh_device_reset_handler
    -> device_reset
      -> mutex_lock(&(us->dev_mutex));

mutex already by usb_stor_control_thread(), which is waiting for
command completion:

  -> usb_stor_control_thread (mutex taken here)
    -> usb_stor_invoke_transport
      -> usb_stor_Bulk_transport
        -> usb_stor_bulk_srb
	  -> usb_stor_bulk_transfer_sglist
	    -> usb_sg_wait

Make sure we cancel any pending command in .eh_device_reset_handler()
to avoid this.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
