Please change the patch title to something like:

ata: libata-eh: Honor all EH scheduling requests

Because the issue could happen I think with other ata drivers than AHCI.



If a disk is removed and quickly inserted when an I/O error is processing,
the disk may not be able to be re-added. The function call timeline is as
follows:

interrupt scsi_eh

ahci_error_intr
ata_port_freeze
__ata_port_freeze
=>ahci_freeze (turn IRQ off)
ata_port_abort
ata_do_link_abort
ata_port_schedule_eh
=>ata_std_sched_eh
ata_eh_set_pending
set EH_PENDING
scsi_schedule_eh
shost->host_eh_scheduled++ (=1)
scsi_error_handler
=>ata_scsi_error
ata_scsi_port_error_handler
clear EH_PENDING
=>ahci_error_handler
. sata_pmp_error_handler
. ata_eh_reset
. ata_eh_thaw_port
. . =>ahci_thaw (turn IRQ on)
ahci_error_intr . .
ata_port_freeze . .
__ata_port_freeze . .
=>ahci_freeze (turn IRQ off) . .
... . .
ata_eh_set_pending . .
set EH_PENDING . .
scsi_schedule_eh . .
shost->host_eh_scheduled++ (=2) . .
. clear EH_PENDING
check EH_PENDING
=>ata_std_end_eh
host->host_eh_scheduled = 0;

'host_eh_scheduled' is 0 and scsi eh thread will not be scheduled again.
The ata port remain freeze and will never be enabled.

s/remain freeze/remains frozen


Decrease ’host_eh_scheduled‘ instead of set it to 0 roughly and move
WARN_ON of nr_active_links to ata_scsi_port_error_handler().

To fix this issue, decrease ’host_eh_scheduled‘ instead of setting it to 0 so
that EH is scheduled again to re-enable the port. Also move the update of
nr_active_links to 0 when host_eh_scheduled is 0 to ata_scsi_port_error_handler().


Thanks for your review. I will improve the commmit message.

While at it, please drop the host variable:

ap->scsi_host->host_eh_scheduled--;

is just fine.


I agree. I will change it in next version.
