My apologies... yes, your patch also fixes my issue.  I was looking at the two new places from which you were calling scsi_eh_wakeup(), and didn't notice that you moved the spinlock in scsi_device_unbusy()... moving the spinlock in scsi_device_unbusy() also should the issue I'm seeing, given that scsi_eh_scmd_add() also uses the spinlock.

I tested your patch on my issue, and it did indeed fix my issue.

So you can add...

Thanks
Stuart
