That implies a refcount imbalance on the block queue.  Either from a
stray get (which looks impossible, because we only do queue gets and
puts in two places) or because there's an outstanding request, or
because there's an imbalance higher up.

Could you instrument and check we call
scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext() for the device (that should do the
final put).  If that's not happening, then we have an imbalance on the
scsi device itself.

Thanks,
