Well, the root cause then is that scsi_device_find is just reusing the list of devices on the SCSI bus. Devices are added to that list very early by qdev_set_parent_bus. Stefan's patch could make the issue even harder to hit, but I think that with iothreads you could hit it anyway. The solution is probably to add an "online" flag to the device, and set it in scsi_device_realize. But even that has the issue that access to the list is not protected with a lock. What do you think?
