commit 3e99862c05a9caa5a27969f41566b428696f5a9a upstream. When a uas disk is plugged into an external hub, uas_probe() will be called by the hub thread to do the probe. It will first create a SCSI host and then do the scan for this host. During the scan, it will probe the LUN using SCSI INQUERY command which will be packed in the URB and submitted to uas disk. There might be a chance that this external hub with uas disk attached is unplugged during the scan. In this case, uas driver will fail to submit the URB (due to the NOTATTACHED state of uas device) and try to put this SCSI command back to request queue waiting for next chance to run. In normal case, this cycle will terminate when hub thread gets disconnection event and calls into uas_disconnect() accordingly. But in this case, uas_disconnect() will not be called because hub thread of external hub gets stuck waiting for the completion of this SCSI command. A deadlock happened. In this fix, uas will call scsi_scan_host() asynchronously to avoid the blocking of hub thread.

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.
