Sorry Jens, same splat.  What confuses me is the second column
in the possible scenario:

[  139.368477]        CPU0                    	CPU1
[  139.369129]        ----                    	----
[  139.369774]   lock(&(&ioc->lock)->rlock);
[  139.370339]                                		lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock);
[  139.390579]                                		lock(&(&ioc->lock)->rlock);
[  139.391522]   lock(&(&bfqd->lock)->rlock);

I could not find any code path, related to the reported call traces,
and taking first q->queue_lock and then ioc->lock.

Any suggestion on how to go on, and hopefully help with this problem is
welcome.

Thanks,
Paolo
