There is (mostly theoretical) race between removal of a scsi device and scsi_dma_restart_bh.
It used to be easier to hit this race prior to my / Paulo's patch series that added rcu to scsi bus device handling code, but IMHO this race should still be possible to hit, at least in theory. Buglink: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854811 Fix it anyway with a patch that was proposed by Paulo in the above bugzilla.
