Hello Christoph,

I will reorder the patches in this series if I have to repost this patch
series. But please keep in mind that for most patches in this patch series a
previous version has been posted before. The four patches that move LUN
lookup from the tcm_qla2xxx ABORT handler into the target core had already
been posted a few weeks ago. The patches that make ABORT and LUN RESET
handling synchronous are a refreshed version of the patch series I started
to work on almost two years ago. Several patches with spelling fixes are new
but these are trivial. The two patches that fix the XCOPY deadlock are new
but follow a traditional pattern: introduce a reference count API and next
use that API to move code out of a critical section.
