Looks we should have called blk_mq_debugfs_unregister() from
blk_unregister_queue() because blk-mq debugfs uses disk name as debugfs
dir. Not sure why blk_mq_debugfs_unregister() is called from queue's
release handler.

I guess your test case is more complicated than the above CVE, which
should be triggered in single queue case.

As Bart mentioned, the above tag is wrong.

Looks this approach isn't correct:

1) there are other sleepers in __blk_release_queue(), such blk-mq sysfs
kobject_put(), or cancel_delayed_work_sync(), ...

2) wrt. loop, the request queue's release handler may not be called yet
after loop_remove() returns, so this patch may not avoid the issue in
your step 3 in which blk_mq_debugfs_register fails when adding new loop
device. So release not by wq just reduces the chance, instead of fixing
it completely.

Thanks,
