IO hang would be caused if return true when state is SDEV_CANCEL with
following order:

T1: T2:scsi_error_handler
__scsi_remove_device()
scsi_device_set_state(sdev, SDEV_CANCEL)
scsi_eh_flush_done_q()
if (scsi_device_online(sdev))
scsi_queue_insert(scmd,...)

The command added by scsi_queue_insert() would never be handled any
more.

Why not? I think the blk_mq_destroy_queue() call in __scsi_remove_device() will cause it to fail.

Thanks,

Bart.
