FYI, I've staged a variant patch for 4.1 that is simpler; along with the
various fixes I've picked up from Junichi and the leak fix I emailed
earlier.  They are now in linux-next and available in this 'dm-4.1'
specific branch (based on 4.1-rc5):
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=dm-4.1

Please try and let me know if your test works.

I don't have SRP setup otherwise I'd try your reproducer you shared a
while ago.  Any chance you're aware of a way to reproduce with LIO (and
tcm utils)?
