Fix this issue by waking up all the waiters sleeping on tags after
freezing the queue.

Shouldn't blk_mq_alloc_request() be mentioned in t1 since that is the function
that calls blk_queue_enter()?

-		blk_mq_wake_waiters(q);
  	/* Make blk_queue_enter() reexamine the DYING flag. */
  	wake_up_all(&q->mq_freeze_wq);
  }

Why has blk_queue_start_drain() been modified? I don't see any reference
in the patch description to blk_queue_start_drain(). Am I perhaps missing
something?

  	} else {

  	}

Why would the above change be necessary? If the blk_queue_enter() call
by blk_mq_alloc_request() succeeds and blk_mq_get_tag() calls
io_schedule(), io_schedule() will be woken up indirectly by the
blk_mq_run_hw_queues() call because that call will free one of the tags
that the io_schedule() call is waiting for.

Thanks,

Bart.
