[PATCH v4 00/11] Enhance libsas hotplug feature

[Jason Yan]

Hello all, Yijing Wang handed over this topic to me. We are working
on it the last two months. We have tested the patchset for a long
time. Here is the new version.

Now the libsas hotplug has some issues, Dan Williams report
a similar bug here before
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg39187.html

The issues we have found
1. if LLDD burst reports lots of phy-up/phy-down sas events, some events
   may lost because a same sas events is pending now, finally libsas topo
   may different the hardware.
2. receive a phy down sas event, libsas call sas_deform_port to remove
   devices, it would first delete the sas port, then put a destruction
   discovery event in a new work, and queue it at the tail of workqueue,
   once the sas port be deleted, its children device will be deleted too,
   when the destruction work start, it will found the target device has
   been removed, and report a sysfs warnning.
3. since a hotplug process will be divided into several works, if a phy up
   sas event insert into phydown works, like
   destruction work  ---> PORTE_BYTES_DMAED (sas_form_port) ---->PHYE_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL
   the hot remove flow would broken by PORTE_BYTES_DMAED event, it's not
   we expected, and issues would occur.

v3->v4: -get rid of unused ha event and do some cleanup
        -use dynamic alloced work and support shutting down the phy if active event reached the threshold
		-use flush_workqueue instead of wait-completion to process discover events synchronously
		-direct call probe and destruct function
		-other small code improvements 
v2->v3: some code improvements suggested by Johannes and John,
	    split v2 patch 2 into several small patches.
v1->v2: some code improvements suggested by John Garry

Jason Yan (10):
  libsas: kill useless ha_event and do some cleanup
  libsas: remove the numbering for each event enum
  libsas: remove unused port_gone_completion and DISCE_PORT_GONE
  libsas: rename notify_port_event() for consistency
  libsas: Use dynamic alloced work to avoid sas event lost
  libsas: shut down the PHY if events reached the threshold
  libsas: make the event threshold configurable
  libsas: Use new workqueue to run sas event and disco event
  libsas: libsas: use flush_workqueue to process disco events
    synchronously
  libsas: direct call probe and destruct

chenxiang (1):
  libsas: add event to defer list tail instead of head when draining
