Subject: about warning in ata_eh_finish()

Hi, Tejun,

We often see this warning when using sata disks with libsas:

[26705.760518] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6796 at drivers/ata/libata-eh.c:4037 
ata_eh_finish+0xb4/0xcc

This seems implies that ap->nr_active_links is wrong and should be zero.
But I didn't see any other errors. The disks work well.

Question:
ap->nr_active_links seems can be modified by different cpus 
simultaneously, should it be atomic_t? Is this the reason of the warning
above?
