From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@xxxxx> This patch fixes two bugs pointed by James Bottomley: 1. the if (!sym_data->io_reset). That variable is only ever filled by a stack based completion. If we find it non empty it means this code has been entered twice and we have a severe problem, so that should just become a BUG_ON(!sym_data->io_reset). 2. sym_data->io_reset should be set to NULL before the routine is exited otherwise the PCI recovery code could end up completing what will be a bogus pointer into the stack. Big thanks to James Bottomley for help with the patch.
