--- Comment #25 from Jens Axboe (axboe@...nel.dk) ---
Ted, it seems to be affecting nvme as well, so there's really no escaping for
you. But there has to be some other deciding factor here, or all the block
testing would surely have caught this. Question is just what it is.

What would be the most helpful is if someone who can reproduce this at well
could run a bisect between 4.18 and 4.19 to figure out wtf is going on here.
This commit:

    SCSI: fix queue cleanup race before queue initialization is done

might explain the SCSI issues seen, but the very first comment is from someone
using nvme that the above patch has no bearing on that at all. It is, however,
possible that some of the queue sync patches caused a blk-mq issue, and that is
why nvme is affected as well, and why the above commit seems to fix things on
the SCSI side.

I'm going to attach a patch here for 4.19 and it'd be great if folks could try
that.
