[PATCH 4.4 147/190] s390/dasd: fix hanging safe offline

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 11 2018 - 14:50:14 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Haberland <sth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit e8ac01555d9e464249e8bb122337d6d6e5589ccc ]

The safe offline processing may hang forever because it waits for I/O
which can not be started because of the offline flag that prevents new
I/O from being started.

Allow I/O to be started during safe offline processing because in this
special case we take care that the queues are empty before throwing away
the device.
