>Description:
If an sd device is detached and has pending I/O operations the
function scsi_kill_pending() is called to kill them off.
But this function does not seem to make any progress, it just
sits in its while loop calling scsipi_done for the first
scsipi_xer over and over again.
>How-To-Repeat:
Detach a disk that is doing I/O. Watch it die.
>Fix:
Dunno.
