Zhou Zhengping 4ff7adc8c7 scsi: Skip deleted devices in __scsi_device_lookup
When a device is unplugged from a SCSI controller, if the scsi_device is
still in use by application layer, it won't get released until users
close it.

In this case, scsi_device_remove just set the scsi_device's state to be
SDEV_DEL. But if you plug the disk just before the old scsi_device is
released, then there will be two scsi_device structures in
scsi_host->__devices. When the next unplug event happens, some low-level
drivers will check whether the scsi_device has been added to host (for
example the MegaRAID SAS series controller) by calling
scsi_device_lookup(call __scsi_device_lookup) in function
megasas_aen_polling. __scsi_device_lookup will return the first
scsi_device. Because its state is SDEV_DEL, the scsi_device_lookup will
return NULL, making the low-level driver assume that the scsi_device has
been removed, and won't call scsi_device_remove which will lead to hot
swap failure.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
