In case of real io scheduler, q->elevator is set, so blk_mq_run_hw_queue() may just check if scheduler queue has request to dispatch, see __blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(). Then IO hang may be caused because all passthorugh requests may stay in sw queue. And any passthrough request should have been inserted to hctx->dispatch always.
