Subject[PATCH] scsi: fix scsi_error_handler vs. scsi_host_dev_release race
Date
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

b9d5c6b7ef57 ("[SCSI] cleanup setting task state in
scsi_error_handler()") has introduced a race between scsi_error_handler
and scsi_host_dev_release resulting in the hang when the device goes
away because scsi_error_handler might miss a wake up:

CPU0 CPU1
scsi_error_handler scsi_host_dev_release
kthread_stop()
kthread_should_stop()
test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
wake_up_process()
wait_for_completion()

set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
schedule()

The most straightforward solution seems to be to invert the ordering of
the set_current_state and kthread_should_stop.

The issue has been noticed during reboot test on a 3.0 based kernel but
the current code seems to be affected in the same way.
