From c3b331a308b6369b77455f8431f3182931cf7686 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 17:12:09 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] cxgb4i: Remove the scsi host device when removing device When doing a hotplug remove of a cxgb4 device, there are still dandling symlinks at /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX to the removed PCI device. The upper layer device may also try to send data, which may crash the system. The DETACH message from the lower level driver is sent to the ULD when the device is removed, when the scsi host should be removed from the system, avoiding any problems. After this patch, there are no more dangling symlinks and many attempts to crash the system while there is SCSI activity and removing the device have failed. Adding the device back again works as expected, with the scsi hosts showing up again. Based on a patch by Karen Xie.
