This patch fixes a regression in scsi-misc introduced with:
312efe5efcdb02d604ea37a41d965f32ca276d6a
[SCSI] simplify scsi_io_completion().

The problem is that in previous kernels scsi_io_completion would call
scsi_requeue_command, but now it can call scsi_queue_insert for
something like a UNIT_ATTENTION (for netapp targets we get
UNIT_ATTENTION when restarting a iscsi session). And scsi_queue_insert
will call scsi_device_unbusy, but in the scsi_io_completion code path
scsi_finish_command has already called this so we now end up
with invalid host, target and device busy values.

Patch was made over scsi-misc.

This is a bad bug, but not quite the way I'd like to fix it.  Whether
the queue should be unbusied or not is really separate from the block
action, so it should have its own flag (plus it's not really a flag many
people should be using).  Since, really, the wrong use is confined to
the defining file, how about this:


Patch fixed my problem here. Thanks.
