commit 5ae17501bc62a49b0b193dcce003f16375f16654 upstream. The changes to issue the abort from the scmd->abort_work instead of the EH thread introduced a problem if eh_deadline is used. If aborting the command(s) is successful, and there are never any scmds added to the shost->eh_cmd_q, there is no code path which will reset the ->last_reset value back to zero. The effect of this is that after a successful abort with no EH thread activity, a subsequent timeout, perhaps a long time later, might immediately be considered past a user-set eh_deadline time, and the host will be reset with no attempt at recovery. Fix this by resetting ->last_reset back to zero in scmd_eh_abort_handler() if it is determined that the EH thread will not run to do this. Thanks to Gopinath Marappan for investigating this problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
