Since SCSI scanning occurs asynchronously, since sd_revalidate_disk() is called from sd_probe_async() and since sd_revalidate_disk() calls sd_zbc_read_zones() it can happen that sd_zbc_read_zones() is called concurrently with blkdev_report_zones() and/or blkdev_reset_zones(). That can cause these functions to fail with -EIO because sd_zbc_read_zones() e.g. sets q->nr_zones to zero before restoring it to the actual value, even if no drive characteristics have changed. Avoid that this can happen by making the following changes: - Protect the code that updates zone information with blk_queue_enter() and blk_queue_exit(). - Modify sd_zbc_setup_seq_zones_bitmap() and sd_zbc_setup() such that these functions do not modify struct scsi_disk before all zone information has been obtained. Note: since commit055f6e18e0("block: Make q_usage_counter also track legacy requests"; kernel v4.15) the request queue freezing mechanism also affects legacy request queues.

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.
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.
