I think the problem is that blkcg does weird things from
blk_cleanup_queue. I'd rather fix that root cause than working around it.
Hello Christoph,
Can you clarify your comment? generic_make_request_checks() calls
blkcg_bio_issue_check() and that function in turn calls blkg_lookup()
and other blkcg functions. Hence this patch that avoids that blkcg code
is called concurrently with removal of a request queue from blkcg.
Thanks,
Bart.
