This is oddly worded. I think that you need to mention how calling scsi_eh_scmd_add() may lead to this scenario occurring.

Hence complain if scsi_eh_scmd_add() is called
after SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT has been cleared.

Now you hint that this mentioned scenario may occur if SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT was cleared.

Can you provide some info on when scsi_eh_scmd_add() could be called for SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT cleared? Or is it that you don't know how (it may occur), but it is fatal if it does and we should guard against or warn about it.

What about if SCMD_STATE_COMPLETE is set - should we also warn about that?

spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags);
  	if (scsi_host_set_state(shost, SHOST_RECOVERY)) {


Thanks,
