Thanks for the feedback. Something that kept me busy since I posted
the patch at the start of this thread is how to avoid adding two
atomic operations in a hot path (the get_device() and put_device()
calls in scsi_run_queue()). The patch below should realize that.
However, since I haven't been able so far to trigger the above call
trace that means that the test I ran wasn't sufficient to trigger
all code paths. So it would be appreciated if anyone could help
testing the patch below.
