01_scsi_reqfn_consolidate_error_handling.patch This patch fixes a queue stall bug which occurred when sgtable allocation failed and device_busy == 0. When scsi_init_io() returns BLKPREP_DEFER or BLKPREP_KILL, it's supposed to free resources itself. This patch consolidates defer and kill handling into scsi_prep_fn(). Note that this patch doesn't consolidate state defer/kill handlings in scsi_prep_fn() as all state checks will be moved into scsi_reques_fn() by the following reqfn_reimpl patch. ret value checking was changed to switch() as in James's patch. Also, kill: comment is copied from James's patch.
