Without details, it's really hard to speculate.  The problem description
is manifestly strange for two reasons

     1. READ_10 should never be issued via scsi_execute_async.  There's
        no ULD in the current kernel that does this.  The READ_X/WRITE_X
        commands are issued through the filesystem path.
     2. There's no command filter in there either:  I can imagine an eh
        problem where the LLD isn't accepting the TUR because it still
        thinks the just recovered command is outstanding.

So could we have some actual details?
