Thanks for the pointer. I will check with the post-merge tree.

The crash I am seeing is because of softirq_done_fn not set in the request queue for BSG request. Even in the post-merge tree I don't see FC transport setting this function during the allocation of the request queue. When BSG request times out, I see that it executes __blk_complete_request function where check is done for its existence. I see this getting set for SCSI request during queue allocation in scsi_lib.c. Is this required for BSG request?

Yeah, you need to set q->softirq_done_fn if you use the block timeout
infrastructure. The current bsg user, SMP, uses bsg but it doesn't use
the timeout infrastructure so it doesn't set q->softirq_done_fn.

sg3_utils version 1.27 (and later) is a user of bsg, sending
SCSI commands through. Will timeouts works? [I didn't check.]
