Hi James,
I hope the previous RFC patch(*) would be no problem, since I haven't
gotten any negative comment.
(*) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/25/262
So could you take this patch for 2.6.28 additionally?
This patch implements a new interface of the block layer for
request stacking drivers.
There should be no effect on existing drivers' behavior.
This patch was created on top of the commit below of scsi-post-merge-2.6.

[SCSI] scsi_error: fix target reset handling
---------------------------------------------------------------------
And this patch depends on the following block layer patch, which
is in Jens' for-2.6.28 of linux-2.6-block.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] scsi: export busy state via q->lld_busy_fn()
This patch implements q->lld_busy_fn() for scsi mid layer to export
its busy state.
Please note that it checks the cached information (sdev->lld_busy)
for efficiency, instead of checking the actual state of
sdev/starget/shost everytime.
So the care must be taken not to leave sdev->lld_busy = 1 for
the following cases:
- when there is no request in the sdev queue
- when scsi can't dispatch I/Os anymore and needs to kill I/Os
Otherwise, request stacking drivers may not submit any request,
and then, nobody sets back lld_busy = 0 and that causes deadlock.
OTOH, it has no major problem in setting sdev->lld_busy = 0 even when
the starget/shost is actually busy, because newly submitted request
will soon turn it to 1 in scsi_request_fn().
