The eh handlers are called with host_lock acquired, and interrupts disabled. However fusion waits for completion of task managment request. With these spin locks removed, the driver is going to hang within the sleep calls. Someone recently posted a patch to remove them(don´t know who), and can be found in James Bottomely scsi-misc branch. Please apply.
