Hello Jens,
How about replacing the blk_freeze_queue_start() and blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
calls by a single call to blk_set_queue_dying()? I think that would be more
appropriate in the context of mtip_block_remove().

A similar comment here: since nbd_clear_que() is called just before shutting
down the block layer queue in the NBD driver, how about replacing the
blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() / blk_mq_start_hw_queues() pair by a single
blk_set_queue_dying() call?

Since the above blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() call is followed by a .del_vqs() call,
shouldn't the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() / blk_mq_start_hw_queues() pair in the
virtio_blk driver be changed into a blk_mq_freeze_queue() / blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
pair?
Thanks,
Bart.
