Hi all, I am wondered how does SCSI EH guarantee there is no UAF of scsi_cmnd
if host reset failed. If host reset failed and eh_cmd_q of shost is not empty,
these command in eh_cmd_q would be added to done_q in scsi_eh_offline_sdevs()
and finished by scsi_eh_flush_done_q(). So these scsi_cmnd and it's related
request would be freed.

While since host reset failed, we can not guarantee the LLDDs has cleared all
references to these commands in eh_cmd_q. Is there any possibility that the
LLDDs reference to these commands? If this happened, then a using after free
issue would occur.

Waiting for your response.
