Are we still talking about the same BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER case? This can be solved by the two patches which rcu-synchronizes the hand-over to normal completion path, right? > Additionally, the blk-mq timeout handling code ignores completions that > occur after blk_mq_check_expired() has been called and before > blk_mq_rq_timed_out() has reset rq->aborted_gstate.

I really don't think reducing or closing this window requires full synchronization. Thanks. -- tejun
