Hello Hannes,

We are discussing here, a very-very rare scenario where 2 conditions must
co-exist:
1. a fatal error that requires the controller to be reset.
2. all slots are taken.

This 2 conditions, very rarely should happen together.
At that point, it would be better to free the last slot, than to save one
slot for this scenario.
Also, we should remember that reducing the queue-depth for the entire
usual operation, might be a performance hit at some point, where, for
example, a LUN has only 8 slots, will now have 7, which is a hit of 12.5%
of the potential parallelism. So, i would recommend to stick with the
above proposal that not only makes more sense when you estimate the
probability of the conditions to co-exist, but also was tested and proven
to be safe with no performance hit.

Regards,
Yaniv
