Hi Doug, resp_inquiry() does a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation, but it's not allowed to from the queuecommand context. There's no good way to return this error, so I used DID_ERROR which is used from similar paths. That doesn't seem quite right though, it would be better to return an error indicating a later retry would be more appropriate.
