I still do not see why kref is better. Completion sounds good.

What do you mean by used in set_features? The return value of
tcm_vhost_alloc_inflight was used at some point, but now it is not used.
So I will return int.

Why is it corrupted?

How can the next request get a freed inflight? It can not happen.  The
old inflight is freed only after all the requests which reference it are
finished. See the last few lines in vhost_scsi_flush.

We can not go there.

Did you see the old inflight was freed in vhost_scsi_flush().
It was code in a helper function because it is used in too places.
One is in vhost_scsi_open and the other is in vhost_scsi_scsi?

When tcm_vhost_alloc_inflight failed to allocate inflight.
