Re: "scsi: convert host_busy to atomic_t" series causes regressions for some hardware configurations

Hi Christoph (and those reading!),

I wonder if there might be any update or, most important, anything else for me 
to test in order to provide info to address this issue...

I really would like to find out whether it is a bug in my hardware (which would 
be OK, as I know already how to work around it) or something that may happen on 
any hardware as soon as an unfortunate combination of storage equipment is adopted.

Thanks for the help so far,

Best regards,

Sergio
