Hello Christoph,
At least to me patches 1/4..3/4 look like nice cleanup patches.
Regarding patch 4/4: I'm not sure yet what's the best way for addressing
potentially concurrent SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl calls. As far as I know many
SCSI LLDs have been implemented assuming that eh_*_reset_handler() calls
are serialized per SCSI host. Does this mean that a mutex has to be
added to avoid that an eh_*_reset_handler() call can be triggered via an
ioctl while at the same time the SCSI error handler thread is invoking
one of the eh_*_reset_handler() callback functions due to SCSI error
handling ?
