Hi Bart,

First of all, sorry for the new bug; I didn't realize the pointer could
be NULL at this scenario.

Now, this chunk has a problem with reference counting (and unnecessary
spin-locking), which we can avoid by simply moving up this NULL check.

The call to sp_get() increments the sp->ref_count, but if you skip the
call to qla2xxx_eh_abort() you don't get the decrement from the call to
sp->done() at abort handling from ISR, e.g., qla24xx_abort_iocb_entry().
[or if the command completed successfully between issue/complete abort,
at the completion from ISR, e.g., qla2x00_process_completed_request().]

The sp->done() call just below this chunk was supposed to drop the
initial reference [set at qla2xxx_queuecommand()] at a time we did
not call qla2xxx_eh_abort() yet... but now that we __may__ call it
(and get that sp->done() call from the ISR abort handling), we need
to only increment it if we're going to drop it.

That should be resolved with this slight change to your patch
(which also helps w/ the spin-locking).  What do you/others think?
