scsi-generic scsi_read_complete() should not -both- call the client complete callback with SCSI_REASON_DATA -and- call scsi_command_complete(). The former will cause the client to queue a new read or write request, while the later will free the request data structure, thus causing the new read or write request to use a freed/stale structure when it completes.
This patch fixes the bug, fixing a crash with scsi-generic & RHEL5.5 installer.
