The vhost-scsi driver currently does not handle any control queue operations. In particular, vhost_scsi_ctl_handle_kick, merely prints out a debug message but does nothing else. This can cause guest VMs to hang. As part of SCSI recovery from an error, e.g., an I/O timeout, the SCSI midlayer attempts to abort the failed operation. The SCSI virtio driver translates the abort to a SCSI TMF request that gets put on the control queue (virtscsi_abort -> virtscsi_tmf). The SCSI virtio driver then waits indefinitely for this request to be completed, but it never will because vhost-scsi never responds to that request. To avoid a hang, always respond to control queue operations; explicitly reject TMF requests, and return a no-op response to event requests.

README
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.
