Reading scsi_error_handler() one could easily come away with the impression that it does its wakeup event check while the task state is TASK_RUNNING. In fact it sets TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE at the bottom of the loop, but that is ~50 lines down. Just set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE at the top of loop and be done.
