The two commits that Dwip mentions look very pertinent. There may be others, 
though, as there appears  that a fair amount of work has been done in this area.

I still haven't gotten access to the dump(s), but another issue is that
the re-login attempt is started before the delete/free actions complete.
This appears to be initiated by qlt_unreg_sess() before scheduling
qlt_free_session_done(), so it seems possible that they could race.
Those two commits may address this adequately, though.

It appears that flaky, or fluttering, FC ports (or fabric) seems to be
the cause of this. The login retry is succeeding before the
logout/delete/free is fully completed. That may be why we are not
reproducing this on other systems - the fabric just does not have the
instability seen on boslcp3. At this point, I don't see a connection to
KVM or even Ubuntu vs. Pegas. This appears to be something that will
happen in any distro that has the right vintage of qla2xxx driver. Not
sure why we think this did not happen on Ubuntu -13 kernel - I see
nothing in the diffs of qla2xxx that would affect this.
