Hi folks, I maintain a large (to me) system with 112 threads (4x Intel E7-4830 v4) which has a MegaRAID SAS 9361-24i controller. This system is currently running Debian's 4.16.12 kernel (from stretch-backports) with blk_mq enabled. I've run into a lockup which appears to involve blq_mq and writeback throttling. It's hard to tell if I've run into this same thing with older kernels; I'm trying to track down a deadlock but so far I've been fairly certain that involved the OOM killer, but this doesn't seem to. I've disabled blk_mq and I'm trying to reproduce the other lockup but in the mean time I'm mailing about this. Is this something new that I've stumbled across? I've had a look in the Git history from 4.16..8efcf34a2639 but nothing obvious pops out at me.
