Hello Martin,

I am not aware of any requests to modify the patch "scsi-mq: Always unprepare
before requeuing a request". See also
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg111541.html. Are you perhaps
referring to another patch?

What I remember is that my patch uncovered a bug in the ipr driver. As you
mentioned, a workaround for that bug has already been queued for kernel v4.14
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkp/scsi.git/commit/?h=4.13/scsi-fixes&id=723cd772fde2344a9810eeaf5106787d535ec4a4).

Further improvements for the SCSI core that are the result of the analysis of
the behavior of the SCSI subsystem on PowerPC systems are under discussion. See
also "[PATCHv2 1/2] scsi: Move scsi_cmd->jiffies_at_alloc initialization to
allocation time" (https://marc.info/?l=linux-next&m=150335524812989) and
"[PATCH 2/2] scsi: Preserve retry counter through scsi_prep_fn"
(https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=150335371112485).

Please correct me if I got anything wrong.

Bart.
