+AD4- When the SCSI device is being allocated by +AGA-scsi+AF8-alloc+AF8-sdev+AGA-, the
+AD4- device's request queue will either be initialized via
+AD4- +AGA-scsi+AF8-mq+AF8-alloc+AF8-queue+AGA- or +AGA-scsi+AF8-old+AF8-alloc+AF8-queue+AGA-. But the +AGA-request+AF8-fn+AGA-
+AD4- member of the request queue is in fact only being set in
+AD4- +AGA-scsi+AF8-old+AF8-alloc+AF8-queue+AGA-, which will then later cause the mentioned NPE.

+AD4- Fix the issue by checking whether the +AGA-request+AF8-fn+AGA- is set in
+AD4- +AGAAXwBf-blk+AF8-run+AF8-queue+AF8-uncond+AGA-. In case it is unset, we'll silently return and
+AD4- not try to invoke the callback, thus fixing the NPE.

Which kernel version are you using? Can you check whether the following two
commits are in your kernel tree?

+ACo- 4fd41a8552af (+ACI-SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PM+ACIAOw- December
  2015).
+ACo- 765e40b675a9 (+ACI-block: disable runtime-pm for blk-mq+ACIAOw- July 2017).

Thanks,

Bart.
