Hi,

The trick of USB flash is just that 'can_queue' is one, I have tried to
simulate your test with scsi_debug by setting 'can_queue' as one, looks
can't reproduce your issue.

Could you run the following script[1] and provide us the result after
the IO hang is triggered?

	#./dump-blk-info /dev/sdX	#/dev/sdX is name of your USB disk

Thanks,
Ming
