Whenever an ATA adapter driver is removed (e.g. rmmod),
ata_port_detach() is called repeatedly for all the adapter ports to
remove (unload) the devices attached to the port and delete the port
device itself. Removing of devices is done using libata EH with the
ATA_PFLAG_UNLOADING port flag set. This causes libata EH to execute
ata_eh_unload() which disables all devices attached to the port.
ata_port_detach() finishes by calling scsi_remove_host() to remove the
scsi host associated with the port. This function will trigger the
removal of all scsi devices attached to the host and in the case of
disks, calls to sd_shutdown() which will flush the device write cache
and stop the device. However, given that the devices were already
disabled by ata_eh_unload(), the synchronize write cache command and
start stop unit commands fail. E.g. running "rmmod ahci" with first
removing sd_mod results in error messages like:
ata13.00: disable device
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Stopping disk
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Start/Stop Unit failed: Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
Fix this by removing all scsi devices of the ata devices connected to
the port before scheduling libata EH to disable the ATA devices.

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.
