Unfortunatley, it contains quite a few holes. Hello Tejun, With this patch series applied I see weird hangs in blk_mq_get_tag() when I run the srp-test software. If I pull Jens' latest for-next branch and revert this patch series then the srp-test software runs successfully. Note: if you don't have InfiniBand hardware available then you will need the RDMA/CM patches for the SRP initiator and target drivers that have been posted recently on the linux-rdma mailing list to run the srp-test software. This is how I run the srp-test software in a VM: ./run_tests -c -d -r 10 Here is an example of what SysRq-w reported when the hang occurred: sysrq: SysRq : Show Blocked State task PC stack pid father kworker/u8:0 D12864 5 2 0x80000000 Workqueue: events_unbound sd_probe_async [sd_mod] Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x2b4/0xbb0 schedule+0x2d/0x90 io_schedule+0xd/0x30 blk_mq_get_tag+0x169/0x290 ? finish_wait+0x80/0x80 blk_mq_get_request+0x16a/0x4f0 blk_mq_alloc_request+0x59/0xc0 blk_get_request_flags+0x3f/0x260 scsi_execute+0x33/0x1e0 [scsi_mod] read_capacity_16.part.35+0x9c/0x460 [sd_mod] sd_revalidate_disk+0x14bb/0x1cb0 [sd_mod] sd_probe_async+0xf2/0x1a0 [sd_mod] process_one_work+0x21c/0x6d0 worker_thread+0x35/0x380 ? process_one_work+0x6d0/0x6d0 kthread+0x117/0x130 ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x24/0x30 systemd-udevd D13672 1048 285 0x00000100 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x2b4/0xbb0 schedule+0x2d/0x90 io_schedule+0xd/0x30 generic_file_read_iter+0x32f/0x970 ? page_cache_tree_insert+0x100/0x100 __vfs_read+0xcc/0x120 vfs_read+0x96/0x140 SyS_read+0x40/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x1b0 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 RIP: 0033:0x7f8ce6d08d11 RSP: 002b:00007fff96dec288 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000000 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00005651de7f6e10 RCX: 00007f8ce6d08d11 RDX: 0000000000000040 RSI: 00005651de7f6e38 RDI: 0000000000000007 RBP: 00005651de7ea500 R08: 00007f8ce6cf1c20 R09: 00005651de7f6e10 R10: 000000000000006f R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000001ff0000 R13: 0000000001ff0040 R14: 00005651de7ea550 R15: 0000000000000040 systemd-udevd D13496 1049 285 0x00000100 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x2b4/0xbb0 schedule+0x2d/0x90 io_schedule+0xd/0x30 blk_mq_get_tag+0x169/0x290 ? finish_wait+0x80/0x80 blk_mq_get_request+0x16a/0x4f0 blk_mq_make_request+0x105/0x8e0 ? generic_make_request+0xd6/0x3d0 generic_make_request+0x103/0x3d0 ? submit_bio+0x57/0x110 submit_bio+0x57/0x110 mpage_readpages+0x13b/0x160 ?
