I am familiar with this mechanism. My concern is that both the regular
completion path and the abort handler must call scsi_dma_unmap() before
calling cmd->scsi_done(cmd). I don't see how
test_and_set_bit(SCMD_STATE_COMPLETE, &scmd->state) could prevent that
the regular completion path and the abort handler call scsi_dma_unmap()
concurrently since both calls happen before the SCMD_STATE_COMPLETE bit
is set?

Thanks,

Bart.
