I'd assumed that events wouldn't come in until ->scan_start was called. I see lpfc doesn't have one; is it possible to restructure it to have one? (In any case, good job tracking this down; it was really annoying me.) Possibly we should be less forgiving, and require drivers to have a scan_start, otherwise they can't avoid this race. -- "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
