Thank you. But, hmm. I have no idea about scenario.

struct dm_rq_target_io is a container of clone request
and clone->end_io_data points to its container.

  struct dm_rq_target_io {
        struct mapped_device *md;
        struct dm_target *ti;
        struct request *orig, clone;
        int error;
        union map_info info;
  };

If clone can be dereferenced, clone->end_io_data should be, too.
