Hello, scsi_execute_async() has replaced scsi_do_req() a few versions ago, but it also incurred a change of behavior. I noticed that over-queuing a SCSI device using that function causes I/Os to be starved from low-level queuing for no justified reason. I think it makes much more sense to perserve the original behaviour of scsi_do_req() and add the request to the tail of the queue.
