Thanks, this is very helpful. I think the above means that the crash is
triggered by the following code:

	sp = qla2xxx_get_qpair_sp(cmd_sp->qpair, cmd_sp->fcport,
		GFP_KERNEL);

>From the start of qla2xxx_get_qpair_sp():

	QLA_QPAIR_MARK_BUSY(qpair, bail);

>From qla_def.h:

#define QLA_QPAIR_MARK_BUSY(__qpair, __bail) do {	\
	atomic_inc(&__qpair->ref_count);		\
	mb();						\
	if (__qpair->delete_in_progress) {		\
		atomic_dec(&__qpair->ref_count);	\
		__bail = 1;				\
	} else {					\
	       __bail = 0;				\
	}						\
} while (0)

One of the changes between kernel version v4.9.210 and v4.19.98 is the
following: "qla2xxx: Add multiple queue pair functionality". I think the
 above information means that the cmd_sp->qpair pointer is NULL. I will
let QLogic recommend a solution.

Bart.
