It might be related to the wrong scsi_device_online() check (cf my = patch 'Check for deleted device in scsi_device_online()' earlier on this list= ). Problem is that the error handler just checks with scsi_device_online()= if a command can be sent down the wire. And so for a failed/deleted devices the error handler just barfs at ran= dom places. Can you check if this patch resolves the issue?
