James:
This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code. The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
Can you please check that the
if (shost->host_busy == shost->host_failed ...
condition for waking up is really correct? Thanks.
