Xiang Chen 307d9f49cc scsi: libsas: Keep host active while processing events
Processing events such as PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD may cause dependency issues
for runtime power management support.  Such a problem would be that
handling a PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD event requires that the host is resumed to
send SMP commands. However, in resuming the host, the phyup events
generated from re-enabling the phys are processed in the same workqueue as
the original PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD event. As such, the host will never
finish resuming (as it waits for the phyup event processing), and then the
PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD event can't be processed as the SMP commands are
blocked, and so we have a deadlock.  Solve this problem by ensuring that
libsas keeps the host active until completely finished phy or port events,
such as PORTE_BYTES_DMAED. As such, we don't have to worry about resuming
the host for processing individual SMP commands in this example.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
