* @sdev: SCSI device to prevent medium removal
*
* Locking:
- * We must be called from process context; scsi_allocate_request()
- * may sleep.
+ * We must be called from process context.
*
* Notes:
* We queue up an asynchronous "ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL" request on the
* head of the devices request queue, and continue.
- *
- * Bugs:
- * scsi_allocate_request() may sleep waiting for existing requests to
- * be processed. However, since we haven't kicked off any request
- * processing for this host, this may deadlock.
- *
- * If scsi_allocate_request() fails for what ever reason, we
- * completely forget to lock the door.
