[2/2] Revert "libata, freezer: avoid block device removal while system is frozen"

Commit Message

Mika Westerberg Oct. 4, 2019, 10 a.m. UTC

This reverts commit 85fbd722ad0f5d64d1ad15888cd1eb2188bfb557.

The commit was added as a quick band-aid for a hang that happened when a
block device was removed during system suspend. Now that bdi_wq is not
freezable anymore the hang should not be possible and we can get rid of
this hack by reverting it.

-	 * XXX - UGLY HACK

-	 * The block layer suspend/resume path is fundamentally broken due
-	 * to freezable kthreads and workqueue and may deadlock if a block
-	 * device gets removed while resume is in progress.  I don't know
-	 * what the solution is short of removing freezable kthreads and
-	 * workqueues altogether.

-	 * The following is an ugly hack to avoid kicking off device
-	 * removal while freezer is active.  This is a joke but does avoid
-	 * this particular deadlock scenario.
