I wonder if the following might be the best solution after all:
if (unlikely(!scsi_device_online(sdev))) {
scsi_kill_request(req, q);
/*
* printk() might take a while on slow consoles.
* Prevent solftlockups by releasing the lock.
*/
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock);
sdev_printk(KERN_ERR, sdev,
"rejecting I/O to offline device\n");
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
continue;
}
I see that the lock is released also in several other situations.
Therefore it looks safe. Also handling too many requests without
releasing the lock seems to be a bad idea in general. I think
that this solution was already suggested earlier.
Please, note that I moved scsi_kill_request() up. It looks natural
to remove it from the queue before we release the queue lock.
