Hello chenxiang,
Had you already noticed patch "[PATCH v2] Avoid that ATA error handling can
trigger a kernel hang or oops"? If not, can you apply that patch to your
kernel and verify whether it fixes this behavior? See also
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org/msg71189.html or
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10236213/.
Thanks,
Bart.
