scsi_eh_lock_door() is the only function in the SCSI error handler that calls blk_get_request(). It is not guaranteed that a request is available when scsi_eh_lock_door() is called. Hence pass the BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT flag to blk_get_request(). This patch has a second purpose, namely preventing that scsi_eh_lock_door() deadlocks if sdev->request_queue is frozen and if a SCSI command is submitted to a SCSI device through a second request queue that has not been frozen. A later patch will namely modify the SPI DV code such that sdev->requeust_queue is frozen during domain validation. Cc: Martin K.
