Description

I have some running instances returned "Failed Dependency" error when I tried to stop or reboot them (see https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/issues/5705 for the context).
Looking at the propolis log for one of them, I saw that it panicked at one point:

Research direction

Start with the attached propolis log and the related oxidecomputer/omicron#5705 issue, focusing on the IO completion error reporting a missing request before the panic. Trace that failure through Crucible's IO completion handling, then define done as reproducing the panic or identifying its cause and adding a fix with regression coverage.
