Re: [PATCH scsi-misc-2.6 07/13] scsi: move error handling out of scsi_init_io() into scsi_prep_fn()

[Tejun Heo]

07_scsi_consolidate_prep_fn_error_handling.patch

	When scsi_init_io() returns BLKPREP_DEFER or BLKPREP_KILL,
	it's supposed to free resources itself.  This patch
	consolidates defer and kill handling into scsi_prep_fn().
	This fixes a queue stall bug which occurred when sgtable
	allocation failed and device_busy == 0.
