Hey Dmitry, I want to pick up your patch and add it to my v2 patchset,
but I have made a few changes to it.  Do I have your permission to add
your "Co-developed-by" and "Signed-off-by" tags to the patch below? 
(Never did this before, I think I need to ask permission.)

Compared to your patch, I changed "if (cmd->se_cmd.t_state ==
TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING)" to "if (cmd->state ==
QLA_TGT_STATE_NEED_DATA)" (which is the way it was originally) to work
better with SCST and added the revert of 26f9ce53817a.

I will reply to this message with the two updated v2 patches that follow
your suggestions and remove the dangerous code that you objected to.  If
you approve of them, then I will submit the entire v2 patchset, since
some of the other patches needed to be rebased.

Thanks for your reviews!
Tony

Subject: [PATCH] scsi: qla2xxx: clear cmds after chip reset

Commit aefed3e5548f ("scsi: qla2xxx: target: Fix offline port handling
and host reset handling") caused two problems:

1. Commands sent to FW, after chip reset got stuck and never freed as FW
   is not going to respond to them anymore.

2. BUG_ON(cmd->sg_mapped) in qlt_free_cmd().  Commit 26f9ce53817a
   ("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix missed DMA unmap for aborted commands")
   attempted to fix this, but introduced another bug under different
   circumstances when two different CPUs were racing to call
   qlt_unmap_sg() at the same time: BUG_ON(!valid_dma_direction(dir)) in
   dma_unmap_sg_attrs().

So revert "scsi: qla2xxx: Fix missed DMA unmap for aborted commands" and
partially revert "scsi: qla2xxx: target: Fix offline port handling and
host reset handling" at __qla2x00_abort_all_cmds.

Fixes: aefed3e5548f ("scsi: qla2xxx: target: Fix offline port handling and host reset handling")
Fixes: 26f9ce53817a ("scsi: qla2xxx: Fix missed DMA unmap for aborted commands")
