When we tear down a device we try to flush all outstanding

scsi_request_fn() is imperfect as it only signals that
we _might start_ aborting commands, not that we've actually
aborted some.
So move the printk inside the scsi_kill_request function,
this will also give us a hint about which commands are aborted.

Can this message appear during LUN scanning and hence confuse users ?

Precisely.

Which incidentally also tells us that none of the maintainer tested the original patch on SCSI parallel machines :-)

Also, patch 3308511 is already present in several stable trees so
shouldn't a patch like the above CC stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx too ?

Oh. Of course.

Cheers,

Hannes
