Vaibhav Jain bb61b843ff scsi: cxlflash: Prevent deadlock when adapter probe fails
Presently when an error is encountered during probe of the cxlflash
adapter, a deadlock is seen with cpu thread stuck inside
cxlflash_remove(). Below is the trace of the deadlock as logged by
khungtaskd:

cxlflash 0006:00:00.0: cxlflash_probe: init_afu failed rc=-16
INFO: task kworker/80:1:890 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
       Not tainted 5.0.0-rc4-capi2-kexec+ #2

INFO: task systemd-udevd:5160 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The deadlock occurs as cxlflash_remove() is called from cxlflash_probe()
without setting 'cxlflash_cfg->state' to STATE_PROBED and the probe thread
starts to wait on 'cxlflash_cfg->reset_waitq'. Since the device was never
successfully probed the 'cxlflash_cfg->state' never changes from
STATE_PROBING hence the deadlock occurs.

We fix this deadlock by setting the variable 'cxlflash_cfg->state' to
STATE_PROBED in case an error occurs during cxlflash_probe() and just
before calling cxlflash_remove().

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.
