[ Upstream commit d1ffa760d22aa1d8190478e5ef555c59a771db27 ] The quiesce function calls cio_cancel_halt_clear() and if we get an -EBUSY we go into a loop where we: - wait for any interrupts - flush all I/O in the workqueue - retry cio_cancel_halt_clear During the period where we are waiting for interrupts or flushing all I/O, the channel subsystem could have completed a halt/clear action and turned off the corresponding activity control bits in the subchannel status word. This means the next time we call cio_cancel_halt_clear(), we will again start by calling cancel subchannel and so we can be stuck between calling cancel and halt forever. Rather than calling cio_cancel_halt_clear() immediately after waiting, let's try to disable the subchannel. If we succeed in disabling the subchannel then we know nothing else can happen with the device.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
