Re: [PATCH] scsi/eh: fix hang adding ehandler wakeups after decrementing host_busy

[Pavel Tikhomirov <ptikhomirov@virtuozzo.com>]

 > Are there any issues with this patch 
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9938919/) that Pavel Tikhomirov 
submitted back in September?  I am willing to help if there's anything I 
can do to help get it accepted.

Hi, Stuart, I asked James Bottomley about the patch status offlist and 
it seems that the problem is - patch lacks testing and review. I would 
highly appreciate review from your side and anyone who wants to participate!

And if you can confirm that the patch solves the problem on your 
environment with no side effects please add "Tested-by:" tag also.

Thanks, Pavel
