Is that the same issue? I think Cong Wang is just trying to deal with 
the longstanding libsas hotplug WARN.

We at Huawei are still working to fix it. Our patchset is under internal 
test at the moment.

How can this work as sas_unregister_domain_devices() may be called from 
the same workqueue which you're trying to flush?
