[ Upstream commit 3c2673a09cf1181318c07b7dbc1bc532ba3d33e3 ]
SATA devices on an expander may be removed and not be found again when I_T
nexus reset and revalidation are processed simultaneously.
The issue comes from:
- Revalidation can remove SATA devices in link reset, e.g. in
hisi_sas_clear_nexus_ha().
- However, hisi_sas_debug_I_T_nexus_reset() polls the state of a SATA
device on an expander after sending link_reset, where it calls:
hisi_sas_debug_I_T_nexus_reset
sas_ata_wait_after_reset
ata_wait_after_reset
ata_wait_ready
smp_ata_check_ready
sas_ex_phy_discover
sas_ex_phy_discover_helper
sas_set_ex_phy
The ex_phy's change count is updated in sas_set_ex_phy(), so SATA
devices after a link reset may not be found later through revalidation.
A similar issue was reported in:
commit 0f3fce5cc77e ("[SCSI] libsas: fix ata_eh clobbering ex_phys via
smp_ata_check_ready")
commit 87c8331fcf72 ("[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing
with ata error handling").
To address this issue, in hisi_sas_debug_I_T_nexus_reset(), we now call
smp_ata_check_ready_type() that only polls the device type while not
updating the ex_phy's data of libsas.

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.
