This is a patch to fix the bsg hang bug reported by Pete: http://marc.info/?t=121182152200003&r=1&w=2 == From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [PATCH] bsg: fix bsg_mutex hang with device removal We don't need to hold bsg_mutex during bsg_complete_all_commands(). It leads to a problem that we block bsg_unregister_queue during bsg_complete_all_commands (untill all the outstanding commands complete). Thanks to Pete Wyckoff for finding the bug and testing the patch.
