and fail, if it cannot get the reference. But calling scsi_device_get from slave_destroy will fail, because the scsi_device is already in the state SDEV_DEL. Introduce a new call into the zfcp erp to solve this: The function zfcp_erp_unit_shutdown_wait will close the LUN and wait for the erp to finish without acquiring an additional reference. The wait allows to omit the reference; the caller waiting for the erp to finish already has a reference that holds the struct in place.
