There may possibly be some other errors. So we need a lock here.
I think the simple but reliable way to do it is just to replace
queue lock with a host lock. James pointed out that there may be
performance slow down when many devices are accessed at the
same time. But I think the major part is still on the hardware,
and a host lock is the price these kind of controllers must pay.
I agree.
Further, a host lock is (a) common across many controllers, to protect
host-wide resources and (b) only limits us when the controller is
CPU-limited, a very rare scenario.
