In commit 8930a6c20791 ("scsi: core: add support for request batching") blk-mq last flags was mapped to SCMD_LAST and used as an indicator to send the batch for the drivers that implement it but the error handling code was not updated. scsi_send_eh_cmnd(...) is used to send error handling commands and request sense. The problem is that request sense comes as a single command that gets into the batch queue and times out. As result device goes offline after several failed resets. This was observed on virtio_scsi device resize operation.
