[ Upstream commit 2331ce6126 ]
Userspace can currently write to sysfs to transition sdev_state to RUNNING
or OFFLINE from any source state. This causes issues because proper
transitioning out of some states involves steps besides just changing
sdev_state, so allowing userspace to change sdev_state regardless of the
source state can result in inconsistencies; e.g. with ISCSI we can end up
with sdev_state == SDEV_RUNNING while the device queue is quiesced. Any
task attempting I/O on the device will then hang, and in more recent
kernels, iscsid will hang as well.
More detail about this bug is provided in my first attempt:

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.
