Hi Jens, I found in blk_mq_register_disk, we blk_mq_disable_hotplug which in turn mutex_lock(&all_q_mutex); queue_for_each_hw_ctx(q, hctx, i) { ret = blk_mq_register_hctx(hctx); if (ret) break; /// if about error out, we will call unregister below } if (ret) blk_mq_unregister_disk(disk); In blk_mq_unregister_disk, we will try to disable_hotplug again, which leads to dead lock. Did I miss anything?
