Merge tag 'scsi-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi
Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"Two straightforward fixes.
One is a concurrency issue only affecting SAS connected SATA drives,
but which could hang the storage subsystem if it triggers (because the
outstanding command count on error never goes back to zero) and the
other is a NO_TAG fallout from the switch to hostwide tags which
causes the system to crash on module insertion (we've checked
carefully and only the 53c700 family of drivers is vulnerable to this
issue)"
* tag 'scsi-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi:
53c700: fix BUG on untagged commands
scsi: fix race between simultaneous decrements of ->host_failed
