Hi Dan,

JFYI it looks like your patch doesn't completely solve the problem. I can
still trigger this with the following one-liner:

echo 1 > /sys/module/isci/drivers/pci\:isci/0000\:03\:00.0/remove

It's the 'power' sysfs attribute and it happens for SAS port, end_device and
phy.

And as I've seen a report for lpfc as well, I _think_ it is a generic problem
with the SCSI transport classes, not just libsas. Or it could be
scsi_transport_sas and scsi_transport_fc doing nasty things and abuse the
transport class interface.

Byte,
	Johannes
