Hello Mike,

Is something like the patch below what you had in mind ?

Bart.

[PATCH] Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:
