We found that it is judged as broadcast flutter and exits directly when the
exp-attached end device reconnects after the end device probe failed.

Can you please describe how to reproduce this issue in detail?
The test steps we currently construct are to simulate link abnormalities and adjust the rate of the remote phy when running IO on all disks.

When the sata disk is probed and the IDENTIFY command is sent to the disk, the expander return rate is abnormal, causing sata disk probe fail. But there may be many reasons for device probe failure, including expander or disk instability or link abnormalities.


Thanks,

The cause of the problem is that the related ex_phy information was not
cleared after the end device probe failed. In order to solve the above
problem, a function sas_ex_unregister_end_dev() is defined to clear the
ex_phy information and unregister the end device when the exp-attached end
device probe failed.

As the sata device is an asynchronous probe, the sata device may probe
failed after done REVALIDATING DOMAIN. Then after the port is added to the
sas_port_del_list, the port will not be deleted until the end of the next
REVALIDATING DOMAIN and sas_destruct_ports() is called. A warning about
creating a duplicate port will occur in the new REVALIDATING DOMAIN when
the end device reconnects. Therefore, the previous destroy_list and
sas_port_del_list should be handled before REVALIDATING DOMAIN.

Did you mean this end device is a wide-port end device ? How could this happen?

No, the end device described here is a non-expander device. Such as: sata/sas disk. But these devices are exp-attached.

If it is not a wide port, why do they have the same sas address here? Why do you add this function to unregister these PHYs? And the last parameter of sas_unregister_devs_sas_addr() means the last PHY of the wide port, you just all passed true, it is irrational.
The non-expander end device does not have a wide port, such as a sata disk, and there is only one ex_phy corresponding to it. This function finds the ex_phy corresponding to the end dev through dev->sas_addr, then clears the ex_phy information and unregister the end device.
