SCSI uses request_queue->queuedata == NULL as a signal that the queue is dying. We set this state in the sdev release function. However, this allows a small window where we release the last reference but haven't quite got to this stage yet and so something will try to take a reference in scsi_request_fn and oops. It's very rare, but we had a report here, so we're pushing this as a bug fix The actual fix is to set request_queue->queuedata to NULL in scsi_remove_device() before we drop the reference. This causes correct automatic rejects from scsi_request_fn as people who hold additional references try to submit work and prevents anything from getting a new reference to the sdev that way.
