I'm not up to speed on the double-free issue, but if multiple work queues/pools 
referenced the same work item, you could get a double free situation. 
Essentially, the qla2xxx driver doing the double (triple, ...) insertion of a 
work item on multiple pools could result in addition work items, appended to 
that fatal qla2xxx item, getting executed on multiple kworker threads. So, it 
is possible that the skb-related failures were an odd case where some network 
work item was unlucky enough to get appended to one of these offending qla2xxx 
items, and we saw collateral damage (panics) as a result. If that unlucky work 
item were dynamically allocated, it could get freed multiple times.
