Hello Nic,

Although the first version of my patch series that makes ABORT and LUN 
RESET handling synchronous was posted six months ago, although this 
patch series significantly improves reliability of the target core and 
also improves source code readability and although the entire patch 
series has received positive reviews from three experienced kernel 
developers I am still waiting for feedback from you about the technical 
aspects of these patches. You are the maintainer of the in-tree SCSI 
target subsystem so it is your role to provide feedback on patches for 
this subsystem.

The patch series I am referring to is "SCSI target patches for kernel 
v4.4" (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi.target.devel/10365).

Bart.
