Subject: [PATCH] scsi_error: send device reset if asynchronous abort failed
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 12:51:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260610105119.30903-1-hare@kernel.org> (raw)

The current SCSI EH implementation requires us to enter the error
handler before a device reset can be send, requiring us to wait for
all outstanding commands on the _host_ before a device reset can be
issued. This is causing a noticeable I/O stall on SAS JBODs if an
individual device fails.

But a device reset has a very well defined scope, so there really should
not be any implications to _other_ devices on the same host when the
device reset is issued.
So it should be possible to issue a device reset directly from
scsi_eh_abort_handler() once a command abort fails without having to
wait for outstanding commands on any other devices on the same host.
