Kashyap Desai ae6874ba4b scsi: megaraid_sas: Early detection of VD deletion through RaidMap update
Consider the case where a VD is deleted and the targetID of that VD is
assigned to a newly created VD. If the sequence of deletion/addition of VD
happens very quickly there is a possibility that second event (VD add)
occurs even before the driver processes the first event (VD delete).  As
event processing is done in deferred context the device list remains the
same (but targetID is re-used) so driver will not learn the VD
deletion/additon. I/Os meant for the older VD will be directed to new VD
which may lead to data corruption.

Make driver detect the deleted VD as soon as possible based on the RaidMap
update and block further I/O to that device.

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.
