Can you please test the following patch:

diff --git a/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c b/drivers/ata/libata-eh.c

It's only compile-tested, many drivers panic with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE enabled, so the system I have can't even boot properly:(


According to the comment for async_synchronize_cookie(), we sync upto (but excluding) the cookie:

/**
* async_synchronize_cookie - synchronize asynchronous function calls with cookie checkpointing
*
* This function waits until all asynchronous function calls prior to @cookie
* have been done.

So maybe it should be:

+ for (i = 0; i < host->n_ports; i++)
+ async_synchronize_cookie(host->ports[i]->cookie + 1);

That is how other callsites use this API, and that change resolves the WARN for me.

Thanks,
John
