While trying to understand what's going on in the Oops below I figured
that it could be the result of the invalid pointer access. The patch

I was able to reproduce the same stack trace with this patch
applied... That is obviously bad. The good news, I have access to this
machine, so maybe I able to figure out what's the root cause of this
crash.

fyi - Dick and I were taking our time reviewing your patch as the major concern we had with it was that the splice and then the re-add of the work-list could have an abort complete before the IO, which could lead to DC.

We'll look anew at your repro.
