Hi Christoph,

Since a SCSI device must only reply to a reset task management function 
after all affected commands have completed, the only case in which that 
wait code is useful is if a regular reply is sent concurrently with the 
SCSI reset reply and the two replies get reordered. Since the SCSI error 
handler is able to deal with pending commands after a device reset, how 
about leaving out the queue freeze / unfreeze code?

Thanks,

Bart.
