[ Upstream commit 394b61711f3ce33f75bf70a3e22938464a13b3ee ] When trying to rescan disks in petitboot shell, we hit the following softlockup stacktrace: Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory [ 241.223394] CPU: 32 PID: 693 Comm: sh Not tainted 5.4.16-openpower1 #1 [ 241.223406] Call Trace: [ 241.223415] [c0000003f07c3180] [c000000000493fc4] dump_stack+0xa4/0xd8 (unreliable) [ 241.223432] [c0000003f07c31c0] [c00000000007d4ac] panic+0x148/0x3cc [ 241.223446] [c0000003f07c3260] [c000000000114b10] out_of_memory+0x468/0x4c4 [ 241.223461] [c0000003f07c3300] [c0000000001472b0] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x594/0x6d8 [ 241.223476] [c0000003f07c3420] [c00000000014757c] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x188/0x1a4 [ 241.223492] [c0000003f07c34a0] [c000000000153e10] alloc_pages_current+0xcc/0xd8 [ 241.223508] [c0000003f07c34e0] [c0000000001577ac] alloc_slab_page+0x30/0x98 [ 241.223524] [c0000003f07c3520] [c0000000001597fc] new_slab+0x138/0x40c [ 241.223538] [c0000003f07c35f0] [c00000000015b204] ___slab_alloc+0x1e4/0x404 [ 241.223552] [c0000003f07c36c0] [c00000000015b450] __slab_alloc+0x2c/0x48 [ 241.223566] [c0000003f07c36f0] [c00000000015b754] kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x9c/0x1b4 [ 241.223582] [c0000003f07c3760] [c000000000218c48] blk_alloc_queue_node+0x34/0x270 [ 241.223599] [c0000003f07c37b0] [c000000000226574] blk_mq_init_queue+0x2c/0x78 [ 241.223615] [c0000003f07c37e0] [c0000000002ff710] scsi_mq_alloc_queue+0x28/0x70 [ 241.223631] [c0000003f07c3810] [c0000000003005b8] scsi_alloc_sdev+0x184/0x264 [ 241.223647] [c0000003f07c38a0] [c000000000300ba0] scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x288/0xa3c [ 241.223663] [c0000003f07c3a00] [c000000000301768] __scsi_scan_target+0xcc/0x478 [ 241.223679] [c0000003f07c3b20] [c000000000301c64] scsi_scan_channel.part.9+0x74/0x7c [ 241.223696] [c0000003f07c3b70] [c000000000301df4] scsi_scan_host_selected+0xe0/0x158 [ 241.223712] [c0000003f07c3bd0] [c000000000303f04] store_scan+0x104/0x114 [ 241.223727] [c0000003f07c3cb0] [c0000000002d5ac4] dev_attr_store+0x30/0x4c [ 241.223741] [c0000003f07c3cd0] [c0000000001dbc34] sysfs_kf_write+0x64/0x78 [ 241.223756] [c0000003f07c3cf0] [c0000000001da858] kernfs_fop_write+0x170/0x1b8 [ 241.223773] [c0000003f07c3d40] [c0000000001621fc] __vfs_write+0x34/0x60 [ 241.223787] [c0000003f07c3d60] [c000000000163c2c] vfs_write+0xa8/0xcc [ 241.223802] [c0000003f07c3db0] [c000000000163df4] ksys_write+0x70/0xbc [ 241.223816] [c0000003f07c3e20] [c00000000000b40c] system_call+0x5c/0x68 As a part of the scan process Linux will allocate and configure a scsi_device for each target to be scanned. If the device is not present, then the scsi_device is torn down. As a part of scsi_device teardown a workqueue item will be scheduled and the lockups we see are because there are 250k workqueue items to be processed. Accoding to the specification of SIS-64 sas controller, max_channel should be decreased on SIS-64 adapters to 4. The patch fixes softlockup issue. Thanks for Oliver Halloran's help with debugging and explanation!

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.
