[PATCH 1/1] SCSI: fix scsi disk hotpulg/hotunplug race

From: Joe Jin
Date: Mon Dec 06 2010 - 08:31:27 EST


Hi,

Trigger scsi scan when plug new disk, device also support disk
hotplug and auto scan disk, it may allocate scsi_target for same
target more then one by call scsi_alloc_target(), this caused by
the race of __scsi_add_device() and scsi_scan_host_selected().
