    Sorry, I don't understand this last paragraph.
    I don't see how it's more simple with two devices (vs three) if
    we don't exactly know which device caused the error. I thought
    one still needed to reset/restart both devices. Is that correct?

    The devices operate asyncronously from the drivers.
    Only the driver can tell us for sure if IO was in flight for a
    particular device and decide that a device could NOT have generated
    an error.


    Otherwise, so far, the patches look fine to me.

    thanks,
    grant
