Hi Joe, We've tested the Wily test kernel provided and it's looking good, please merge the changes.
As for the previous releases - Trusty, Vivid - please include those as well if possible, as this patch is not conflicting with the other LIS diff patches list of inclusion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509029 Title: [Hyper-V] Crash in hot-add/remove scsi devices (smp) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Wily: In Progress Bug description: On some host errors storvsc module tries to remove sdev by scheduling a job which does the following: sdev = scsi_device_lookup(wrk->host, 0, 0, wrk->lun); if (sdev) { scsi_remove_device(sdev); scsi_device_put(sdev); } While this code seems correct the following crash is observed: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81169979>] [<ffffffff81169979>] bdi_destroy+0x39/0x220 ... [<ffffffff814aecdc>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x40 [<ffffffff8127b7db>] blk_cleanup_queue+0x17b/0x270 [<ffffffffa00b54c4>] __scsi_remove_device+0x54/0xd0 [scsi_mod] [<ffffffffa00b556b>] scsi_remove_device+0x2b/0x40 [scsi_mod] [<ffffffffa00ec47d>] storvsc_remove_lun+0x3d/0x60 [hv_storvsc] [<ffffffff81080791>] process_one_work+0x1b1/0x530 ... The problem comes with the fact that many such jobs (for the same device) are being scheduled simultaneously. While scsi_remove_device() uses shost->scan_mutex and scsi_device_lookup() will fail for a device in SDEV_DEL state there is no protection against someone who did scsi_device_lookup() before we actually entered __scsi_remove_device(). So the whole scenario looks like that: two callers do simultaneous (or preemption happens) calls to scsi_device_lookup() ant these calls succeed for all of them, after that both callers try doing scsi_remove_device(). shost->scan_mutex only serializes their calls to __scsi_remove_device() and we end up doing the cleanup path twice.
