Overview

Race between the I/O completion thread and issue thread might lead to cleaning a structure that is still in use by the completion thread. As a result, the ESXi host fails with a purple diagnostic screen and an error such as NMI IPI: Panic requested by another PCPU . This issue is resolved in this release.
