Hello Jan,

All what's missing from the patch I posted is a execute_in_process_context()
scsi_host_dev_release() call execute in a context where sleeping is allowed.
What you proposed is something I had considered but that I had not yet tried
to implement because it requires more changes. Anyway, I'll give that approach
a try since it does not require to introduce a new work_struct.

Bart.
