Re: BUG in scsi_lib.c due to a bad commit

Hi Barto,

sorry for the late reply, and thanks for drilling down the exact
conditions.

I think we have some issues with the lack of the host lock vs error
handling, but I still don't undertand the details.

I've got a test patch for you that just adds the host lock back in a few
places while keeing the atomic_t.  Can you try to reproduce with that
one?

When breaking an existing setup in software it's always the softwares
fault, btw..
