Hi,
There is a problem with the way sdev is freed currently. The reason is
really that there is a circular referencing problem: the sdev needs to
hold on to the queue, but the queue (through the request function) also
needs to hold on to the sdev.
The easiest way to work-around this problem is to kill the sdev
reference in the queue when the sdev is freed. On invocation of
scsi_request_fn(), kill io to this device.
