But the thread who incremented q->mq_freeze_depth at blk_freeze_queue_start(q) from blk_freeze_queue() is waiting at blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(). Therefore, atomic_read(&q->mq_freeze_depth) == 0 condition for wait_event() in blk_queue_enter() will never be satisfied. But what does that wait_event() want to do? Isn't "start freezing" a sort of blk_queue_dying(q) == true? Since percpu_ref_tryget_live(&q->q_usage_counter) failed and the queue is about to be frozen, shouldn't we treat atomic_read(&q->mq_freeze_depth) != 0 as if blk_queue_dying(q) == true?
