shost_for_each_device() would skip devices which is in SDEV_CANCEL or

so add a new macro shost_for_each_device_include_deleted() to handle it.

Following changes are introduced:

1. Rework scsi_device_get(), add new helper __scsi_device_get() which
    determine if skip deleted scsi_device by parameter "skip_deleted".
2. Add new parameter "skip_deleted" to __scsi_iterate_devices() which
    is used when calling __scsi_device_get()
3. Update shost_for_each_device() to call __scsi_iterate_devices() with
    "skip_deleted" true
4. Add new macro shost_for_each_device_include_deleted() which call
    __scsi_iterate_devices() with "skip_deleted" false

Nack.
SDEV_DEL means the device is about to be deleted, so we _must not_ access it at all.


Sorry I added SDEV_DEL here at hand without understanding what it means.
Actually, just include scsi_device which is in SDEV_CANCEL would fix the
issues I described.

The issues are because device removing concurrent with error handle.
Normally, error handle would not be triggered when scsi_device is in
SDEV_DEL. Below is my analysis, if it is wrong, please correct me.

If there are scsi_cmnd remain unfinished when removing scsi_device,
the removing process would waiting for all commands to be finished.
If commands error happened and trigger error handle, the removing
process would be blocked until error handle finished, because
__scsi_remove_device called del_gendisk() which would wait all
requests to be finished. So now scsi_device is in SDEV_CANCEL.

If the scsi_device is already in SDEV_DEL, then no scsi_cmnd has been
dispatched to this scsi_device, then error handle would never triggered.

I want to change the new function __scsi_device_get() as following,
please help to review.

/*
* __scsi_device_get - get an additional reference to a scsi_device
* @sdev: device to get a reference to
* @skip_canceled: when true, would return failed if device is deleted
*/
static int __scsi_device_get(struct scsi_device *sdev, bool skip_canceled)
{
/*
* if skip_canceled is true and device is in removing, return failed
*/
if (sdev->sdev_state == SDEV_DEL ||
(sdev->sdev_state == SDEV_CANCEL && skip_canceled))
goto fail;
if (!try_module_get(sdev->host->hostt->module))
goto fail;
if (!get_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev))
goto fail_put_module;
return 0;

fail_put_module:
module_put(sdev->host->hostt->module);
fail:
return -ENXIO;
}

I don't think that's required.
With your above analysis, wouldn't the problem be solved with:

Hmm?
