blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is used from within the driver to map a tag
to a request. As such it should only return requests which are
already started (ie passed to the driver); otherwise the driver
might trip over requests which it has never seen and random
crashes will occur.

This becomes particularly obnoxious for SCSI drivers using scsi_host_find_tag() for cleaning up stale commands (ie drivers like qla4xxx, fnic, and snic). All other drivers use it from the completion routine, so one can expect a valid (and started) tag here. So for those it shouldn't matter.

But still, if there are objections I could look at fixing it within the SCSI stack; although that would most likely mean I'll have to implement the above patch as an additional function.

Cheers,

Hannes
