This design was to close a race window in the original error handler where a command could go through the normal completion routines after it timed out but before error handling was started. Mike Anderson pointed out that when we converted our timeout and softirq completions, we picked up atomicity here because the block layer now mediates this with the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag and guarantees that *either* the command times out or our done routine is called, but ensures we can't get both occurring. That makes the serial number zero check redundant and it can be removed. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
