scsi: ipr: Fix softlockup when rescanning devices in petitboot
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When trying to rescan disks in petitboot shell, we hit the following
softlockup stacktrace:

As a part of the scan process Linux will allocate and configure a
scsi_device for each target to be scanned. If the device is not present,
then the scsi_device is torn down. As a part of scsi_device teardown a
workqueue item will be scheduled and the lockups we see are because there
are 250k workqueue items to be processed.  Accoding to the specification of
SIS-64 sas controller, max_channel should be decreased on SIS-64 adapters
to 4.

The patch fixes softlockup issue.

Thanks for Oliver Halloran's help with debugging and explanation!
