When sending START_STOP commands to resume scsi_device, it may be
interrupted by exception operations such as host reset or PCI FLR. Once
the command of START_STOP is failed, the runtime_status of scsi device
will be error and it is difficult for user to recover it.

How is the PCI FLR sent to the device? Shouldn't PCI FLRs only be
triggered by the SCSI LLD from inside an error handler callback? How can
a PCI FLR be triggered while a START STOP UNIT command is being
processed? Why can PCI FLRs only be triggered while a START STOP UNIT
command is being processed and not while any other command is being
processed?

The above change makes the START STOP UNIT command to be retried
unconditionally. A START STOP UNIT command should not be retried
unconditionally.

Please take a look at the following patch series (posted yesterday):

Thanks,
