Uma Krishnan bb7cccb01c scsi: cxlflash: Synchronize reset and remove ops
[ Upstream commit a3feb6ef50def7c91244d7bd15a3625b7b49b81f ]

The following Oops can be encountered if a device removal or system shutdown
is initiated while an EEH recovery is in process:

[c000000ff2f479c0] c008000015256f18 cxlflash_pci_slot_reset+0xa0/0x100
                                      [cxlflash]

[c000000ff2f47dc0] c00000000013da48 kthread+0x1a8/0x1b0
[c000000ff2f47e30] c00000000000b528 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xb4

The remove handler frees AFU memory while the EEH recovery is in progress,
leading to a race condition. This can result in a crash if the recovery thread
tries to access this memory.

To resolve this issue, the cxlflash remove handler will evaluate the device
state and yield to any active reset or probing threads.

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.
