    libata: prevent HSM state change race between ISR and PIO · dc3aaeef

    commit ce751452 upstream.
    
    It is possible for ata_sff_flush_pio_task() to set ap->hsm_task_state to
    HSM_ST_IDLE in between the time __ata_sff_port_intr() checks for HSM_ST_IDLE
    and before it calls ata_sff_hsm_move() causing ata_sff_hsm_move() to BUG().
    
    This problem is hard to reproduce making this patch hard to verify, but this
    fix will prevent the race.
    
    I have not been able to reproduce the problem, but here is a crash dump from
    a 2.6.32 kernel.
    
    On examining the ata port's state, its hsm_task_state field has a value of HSM_ST_IDLE:
    
    crash> struct ata_port.hsm_task_state ffff881c1121c000
      hsm_task_state = 0
    
    Normally, this should not be possible as ata_sff_hsm_move() was called from ata_sff_host_intr(),
    which checks hsm_task_state and won't call ata_sff_hsm_move() if it has a HSM_ST_IDLE value.
