usb_storage: Don't freeze in usb-stor-scan
Scanning cannot be run during suspend or hibernation, but if usb-stor-scan freezes another thread waiting on scanning to complete may fail to freeze. However, if usb-stor-scan is left freezable without ever actually freezing then the freezer will wait on it to exit, and threads waiting for scanning to finish will no longer be blocked. One problem with this approach is that usb-stor-scan has a delay to wait for devices to settle (which is currently the only point where it can freeze). To work around this we can request that the freezer send a fake signal when freezing, then use interruptible sleep to wake the thread early when freezing happens. To make this happen, the following changes are made to usb-stor-scan: * Use set_freezable_with_signal() instead of set_freezable() to request a fake signal when freezing * Use wait_event_interruptible_timeout() instead of wait_event_freezable_timeout() to avoid freezing Signed-off-by: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@canonical.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
