    scsi: bnx2fc: fix race condition in bnx2fc_get_host_stats() · c2dd893a

    If multiple tasks attempt to read the stats, it may happen that the
    start_req_done completion is re-initialized while still being used by
    another task, causing a list corruption.
    
    This patch fixes the bug by adding a mutex to serialize the calls to
    bnx2fc_get_host_stats().
