He indicated that it was inside a call to __blk_end_request_cur() and that's a call that you inserted to replace a call to end_request().

Tomorrow I hope to have a VM running with the newest kernel version where I can start testing without porting the driver back to end_request() c.s. > > Denis, care to post a kernel oops trace?
