From 5ae17501bc62a49b0b193dcce003f16375f16654 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ewan D. Milne" Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2021 15:43:10 -0400 Subject: scsi: core: Avoid leaving shost->last_reset with stale value if EH does not run The changes to issue the abort from the scmd->abort_work instead of the EH thread introduced a problem if eh_deadline is used. If aborting the command(s) is successful, and there are never any scmds added to the shost->eh_cmd_q, there is no code path which will reset the ->last_reset value back to zero. The effect of this is that after a successful abort with no EH thread activity, a subsequent timeout, perhaps a long time later, might immediately be considered past a user-set eh_deadline time, and the host will be reset with no attempt at recovery. Fix this by resetting ->last_reset back to zero in scmd_eh_abort_handler() if it is determined that the EH thread will not run to do this. Thanks to Gopinath Marappan for investigating this problem.
