I might be mistaken, but this patch seems functionally identical to this attempt:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143459794823595&w=2
i.e. it moves the port destruction to the workqueue and still suffers from the flutter problem:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143801026028006&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143801971131073&w=2
Perhaps we instead need to quiet this warning?
