An additional comment: I don't think it is safe to execute a host reset while any asynchronous aborts are ongoing. I think the SCSI EH will get really confused if after a host reset has been performed a response is received from an asynchronous abort that was issued before the host reset started. Although a SCSI target must not send a LU RESET response before all previously submitted SCSI commands and TMFs have finished, what prevents in e.g. a multipath topology that an abort response and a LU RESET response are received out of order? Thanks, Bart.
