Why doesn't the problem exist now?
IIUC, it does but it's prevented thanks to outer synchronization via
rq_qos_mutex. Hence the comment clarifies why is the lockdep_assert
placed here.


Yes, it'm implemented in the upper layer that rq_qos_add() and
blkcg_activate_policy() should be atmoic, and currently there is no
comments for that.

Perhaps it's better to add some comments like following in rq_qos_add()
instead?

        rqos->disk = disk;
