There are two problems here: 1) blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() will only be called from __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() if e->type->ops.has_work() return true. This seems impossible because blk_cleanup_queue() is done, and there should be no io. Commit ddc25c86b466 ("block, bfq: make bfq_has_work() more accurate") fix the problem in bfq. And currently ohter schedulers don't have such problem. 2) 'hctx->run_work' still exists after blk_cleanup_queue(). blk_mq_cancel_work_sync() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() to cancel all the 'run_work'. However, there is no guarantee that new 'run_work' won't be queued after that(and before blk_mq_exit_queue() is done). The first problem is not the root cause, it will only increase the probability of the second problem. this patch fix the second problem by checking the 'QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD' before queuing 'hctx->run_work', and using 'queue_lock' to synchronize queuing new work and cacelling the old work.
