In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix running_req for internal abort commands
Disabling the remote phy for a SATA disk causes a hang:

The issue is that the per-device runningreq read in pm8001devgonenotify() never goes to zero and we never make progress. This is caused by missing accounting for running_req for when an internal abort command completes.
In commit 2cbbf489778e ("scsi: pm8001: Use libsas internal abort support") we started to send internal abort commands as a proper sastask. In this when we deliver a sastask to HW the per-device runningreq is incremented in pm8001queuecommand(). However it is never decremented for internal abort commnds, so decrement in pm8001mpitaskabort_resp().
