In commit 87c8331f ("[SCSI] libsas: prevent domain rediscovery competing with ata error handling") introduced disco mutex to prevent rediscovery competing with ata error handling and put the whole revalidation in the mutex. But the rphy add/remove needs to wait for the error handling which also grabs the disco mutex. This may leads to dead lock.So the probe and destruct event were introduce to do the rphy add/remove asynchronously and out of the lock. The asynchronously processed workers makes the whole discovery process not atomic, the other events may interrupt the process. For example, if a loss of signal event inserted before the probe event, the sas_deform_port() is called and the port will be deleted. And sas_port_delete() may run before the destruct event, but the port-x:x is the top parent of end device or expander. This leads to a kernel WARNING such as: [ 82.042979] sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'phy-1:0:22' [ 82.042983] -------...
