OK, will do that, but strictly speaking they don't belong to this patch.

This patch just treats hctx_lock() failure as queue quiesce since
queue quiesce is the only reason of the failure:

1) called for run hw queue:

- __blk_mq_run_hw_queue()
- blk_mq_run_hw_queue()

In both two functions, blk_queue_quiesced() follows hctx_lock(), and
we return immediately if queue is quiesced. hctx_lock() failure
is thought as queue being quiesced, so the handling is correct.

2) called in direct issue path:
- blk_mq_try_issue_directly()
- blk_mq_request_issue_directly()

The current handling is to add request to scheduler queue if queue
is quiesced, so this patch adds the request to scheduler queue in case
of hctx_lock() failure.


Thanks,
