SCSI low level driver: how to prevent I/O upon hibernation?
From: Dexuan Cui

Hi all,
Can you please recommend the standard way to prevent the upper layer SCSI
driver from submitting new I/O requests when the system is doing hibernation?
Actually I already asked the question on 5/30 last year:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=155918927116283&w=2
and I thought all the sdevs are suspended and resumed automatically in
drivers/scsi/scsi_pm.c, and the low level SCSI adapter driver (i.e. hv_storvsc)
only needs to suspend/resume the state of the adapter itself. However, it looks
this is not true, because today I got such a panic in a v5.6 Linux VM running on
Hyper-V: the 'suspend' part of the hibernation process finished without any
issue, but when the VM was trying to resume back from the 'new' kernel to the
'old' kernel, these events happened:
1. the new kernel loaded the saved state from disk to memory.
2. the new kernel quiesced the devices, including the SCSI DVD device
controlled by the hv_storvsc low level SCSI driver, i.e.
drivers/scsi/storvsc_drv.c: storvsc_suspend() was called and the related vmbus
ringbuffer was freed.
3. However, disk_events_workfn() -> ... -> cdrom_check_events() -> ...
-> scsi_queue_rq() -> ... -> storvsc_queuecommand() was still trying to
submit I/O commands to the freed vmbus ringbuffer, and as a result, a NULL
pointer dereference panic happened.
Can anyone please explain the symptom?
I made the below patch, with which it seems I can no longer reproduce the panic.
But I don't know how scsi_block_requests() can reliably prevent new I/O requests
from being issued concurrently on a different CPU -- the function only sets a
flag?
Looking forward to your insights!
