"few returns" is too much. Any thing bigger than 1 is a total wast.
And the mess?!? Where to add the flags? where the returns? Need a
"{...}" or not. Lots of manual intervention, and possible errors.
I bet with my approach you wouldn't need to manually fix a single
file.

That one I'm most afraid of. These that did not get fixed in this
round, will not be fixed for a long time (if ever). I'd even go
anal and not open code the lock but actually call the original
__queue_command through a MACRO, that can be change in one place.
(And will solve your patchset bisect-ability)
- XXX_queue_command(...
+ XXX_queue_command_unlocked(...
+ XXX_queue_command(...
+ {
+ return SCSI_LOCKED_QUEUECOMMAND(XXX_queue_command_unlocked, ...);
+ }

But since I'm only blabing, the one that "do", gets to decide ;-) .
