The message means CPU hotplug race is triggered. Yeah, there is big problem in blk_mq_hctx_notify_dead() which is called after one CPU is dead, but still run this hw queue to dispatch request, and all CPUs in this hctx might become offline. We have some discussion before on this issue: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/CACVXFVN729SgFQGUgmu1iN7P6Mv5+puE78STz8hj9J5bS828Ng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > > This patch added a cpu-hotplug handler into blk-mq, updating > hctx->cpumask at cpu-hotplug. This way isn't correct, hctx->cpumask should be kept as sync with queue mapping. Thanks, Ming
