Bug Description

[Impact]
There are several bugs in the driver that can cause it to fail during teardown/error recovery.

[Test Case]
Regression tested by issuing sg_reset commands in a loop during an iozone3 run on a disk attached to a hisi_sas controller.

$ iozone -a &
$ while :; do sudo sg_reset --device /dev/sda; sleep 5; done

[Regression Risk]
All fixes are encapsulated within a single driver which was explicitly tested for regressions.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

artful verification - I've completed the iozone test on a filesystem atop a disk connected to a hisi sas controller w/o error.
