James, Mike, can you double-check the retries? In particular, it's _wrong_ to retry after you've already marked a command completed with "complete(rq->waiting)", so if that happens somewhere, things are really broken.


I am looking into it. I think it has something to do with the request getting completed too early or maybe something crazy like twice. This looks like a similar problem that was reported to linux-scsi where for some tape setup the request's bio gets freed twice.
