From aa0689b36b2144e91d2182605bed951565c4899b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland Dreier Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 19:57:51 -0800 Subject: Revert "driver core: synchronize device shutdown" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This reverts commit 401097ea4b89846d66ac78f7f108d49c2e922d9c. The original changelog said: A patch series to make .shutdown execute asynchronously. Some drivers's shutdown can take a lot of time. The patches can help save some shutdown time. The patches use Arjan's async API. This patch: synchronize all tasks submitted by .shutdown However, I'm not able to find any evidence that any other patches from this series were applied, nor am I able to find any async tasks that are scheduled in a .shutdown context. On the other hand, we see occasional hangs on shutdown that appear to be caused by the async_synchronize_full() in device_shutdown() waiting forever for the async probing in sd if a SCSI disk shows up at just the wrong time — the system starts the probe, but begins shutting down and tears down too much of the SCSI driver to finish the probe. If we had any async shutdown tasks, I guess the right fix would be to create a "shutdown" async domain and have device_shutdown() only wait for that domain. But since there apparently are no async shutdown tasks, we can just revert the waiting.
