Hi, looking at your last patch I noticed something. I think it fails to work if we hit a peculiar race condition. It looks to me like we can get the following: task A pre_reset() --> calling scsi_block_requests() task B shutdown() --> setting the shutdown flag post_reset() --> checking the flag -> do nothing -> deadlock So we need in addition something like the below patch. What do you think?

Thus the host must be unblocked even in the shutdown case.
