Tyrel,

> The ibmvfc driver in its current form relies heavily on the
> host_lock. This patchset introduces a genric queue with its own queue
> lock and sent/free event list locks. This generic queue allows the
> driver to decouple the primary queue and future subordinate queues
> from the host lock reducing lock contention while also relaxing
> locking for submissions and completions to simply the list lock of the
> queue in question.

Applied to 5.12/scsi-staging, thanks!
