Serializing SCSI device state changes avoids that two state changes can occur concurrently, e.g. the state changes in scsi_target_block() and __scsi_remove_device(). This serialization is essential to make patch "Make __scsi_remove_device go straight from BLOCKED to DEL" work reliably. Enable this mechanism for all scsi_target_*block() callers but not for the scsi_internal_device_unblock() calls from the mpt3sas driver because that driver can call scsi_internal_device_unblock() from atomic context.

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.
