[ Upstream commit 6e1fcab00a23f7fe9f4fe9704905a790efa1eeab ] John Garry reported a deadlock that occurs when trying to access a runtime-suspended SATA device. For obscure reasons, the rescan procedure causes the link to be hard-reset, which disconnects the device. The rescan tries to carry out a runtime resume when accessing the device. scsi_rescan_device() holds the SCSI device lock and won't release it until it can put commands onto the device's block queue. This can't happen until the queue is successfully runtime-resumed or the device is unregistered. But the runtime resume fails because the device is disconnected, and __scsi_remove_device() can't do the unregistration because it can't get the device lock. The best way to resolve this deadlock appears to be to allow the block queue to start running again even after an unsuccessful runtime resume. The idea is that the driver or the SCSI error handler will need to be able to use the queue to resolve the runtime resume failure. This patch removes the err argument to blk_post_runtime_resume() and makes the routine act as though the resume was successful always. This fixes the deadlock.

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.
