I just noticed this with a rather finickey SAS system I have. It's got a SATA DVD attached over an expander. Periodically the DVD just hangs up, so we wait for the timeout and then send a phy reset which clears it. What I'm seeing with the new block timer code is that the timer never expires. I can dig some more into this, but if you wanted to test it as well, the timer code is easy to excite. Just throw away one command in every 128 or so in the queuecommand routine of your favourite HBA driver.
