rq->gstate and rq->aborted_gstate both are zero before rqs are allocated. If we have a small timeout, when the timer fires, there could be rqs that are never allocated, and also there could be rq that has been allocated but not initialized and started. At the moment, the rq->gstate and rq->aborted_gstate both are 0, thus the blk_mq_terminate_expired will identify the rq is timed out and invoke .timeout early. For scsi, this will cause scsi_times_out to be invoked before the scsi_cmnd is not initialized, scsi_cmnd->device is still NULL at the moment, then we will get crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
