Indeed, that looks pretty subtle.
James: Brian's patch looks obviously correct to me (scsi_alloc_sdev() will
have called scsi_sysfs_device_initialize() which will set up the release
function to free the queue).
This code has been like that forever, though, which makes me wonder. Can
anybody see what has changed to make the bug trigger? Or is there
something I'm missing?
