[SCSI] libsas: fix error handling
The libsas error handler has two fairly fatal bugs 1. scsi_sas_task_done calls scsi_eh_finish_cmd() too early. This happens if the task completes after it has been aborted but before the error handler starts up. Because scsi_eh_finish_cmd() decrements host_failed and adds the task to the done list, the error handler start check (host_failed == host_busy) never passes and the eh never starts. 2. The multiple task completion paths sas_scsi_clear_queue_... all simply delete the task from the error queue. This causes it to disappear into the ether, since a command must be placed on the done queue to be finished off by the error handler. This behaviour causes the HBA to hang on pending commands. Fix 1. by moving the SAS_TASK_STATE_ABORTED check to an exit clause at the top of the routine and calling ->scsi_done() unconditionally (it is a nop if the timer has fired). This keeps the task in the error handling queue until the eh starts. Fix 2. by making sure every task goes through task complete followed by scsi_eh_finish_cmd(). Tested this by firing resets across a disk running a hammer test (now it actually survives without hanging the system) Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
