Thus, there may exist a data race for "cmnd->result"

No,
the write operations need no lock. The low level driver at this point
owns the command. We cannot race with abort() for a command within
queuecommand(). We take the lock where we take it to protect
dev->resetting.
I don't see why the scope of the lock would need to be enlarged.
Okay, thanks for your reply and explanation.
Best wishes,
