From 26186ba77b493204ae0fadc3c88a67b14f22168f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Dharm Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 14:45:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near queuecommand This patch started life as as534, and has been re-diffed against the latest tree. usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand accepts a new command and the time the control thread starts to execute it. If disconnect is called during that window, the driver won't cancel the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it for us during host removal. But it's better for usb-storage to cancel it; this avoids races and reduces reliance on the SCSI core. Fortunately cancelling these commands is easy to do; the key is to do it _before_ calling scsi_remove_host.
