Large queues of I/O to offline devices that are eventually submitted when devices are unblocked result in a many repeated "rejecting I/O to offline device" messages. These messages can fill up the dmesg buffer in crash dumps so no useful prior messages remain. In addition, if a serial console is used, the flood of messages can cause a hard lockup in the console code. Introduce a flag indicating the message has already been logged for the device, and reset the flag when scsi_device_set_state() changes the device state.

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.
