Calling scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() would trigger scsi_mq_uninit_cmd(), blk_mq_put_driver_tag(), blk_mq_get_driver_tag() and scsi_mq_prep_fn(). That could cause scsi_eh_scmd_add() to be called multiple times for the same SCSI command. However, that would break one of the assumptions scsi_eh_scmd_add() is based on, namely that that function gets called only once per SCSI command that is in progress. Bart.
