Which particular error do you see?  The ->eh_timed_out routines can
return BLK_EH_HANDLED, and libata, iscsi and fc actually do, so we'll
need to fix these issues either way.

Yes.

Which kind of transition did you see rejected?  Neither a CREATED or
DEL_(RECOVERY) state should be possible when invoking the error handler,
so I'd rather see asserts here than overriding the state machine.
te RECOVERY state from a RUNNING or existing RECOVERY state, which
leaves CREATED, CANCEL, DEL, CANCEL_RECOVERY or DEL_RECOVERY.
