- * scsi_error_handler - Handle errors/timeouts of SCSI cmds.
+ * scsi_error_handler - SCSI error handler thread
  * @data:	Host for which we are running.
  *
  * Notes:
- *    This is always run in the context of a kernel thread.  The idea is
- *    that we start this thing up when the kernel starts up (one per host
- *    that we detect), and it immediately goes to sleep and waits for some
- *    event (i.e. failure).  When this takes place, we have the job of
- *    trying to unjam the bus and restarting things.
+ *    This is the main error handling loop.  This is run as a kernel thread
+ *    for every SCSI host and handles all error handling activity.
