Hello Martin and James, Even with this version of this patch series there is still a lockup possible, namely if the sd events checker submits a TUR while a SCSI device is blocked and before __scsi_remove_device() calls device_del(). The latter function namely waits for sd_check_events() to finish. Bart.
