void __sched io_schedule(void)
{
        int token;

        token = io_schedule_prepare();
        schedule();
        io_schedule_finish(token);
}

But who can wakeup this task after scheduling out? There can't be irq
handler for POLLED request.

The hang can be triggered on nvme/qemu reliably:

fio --bs=4k --size=1G --ioengine=pvsync2 --norandommap --hipri=1 --iodepth=64 \
	--slat_percentiles=1 --nowait=0 --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --direct=1 \
	--runtime=10 --numjobs=1 --rw=rw --name=test --group_reporting

Thanks,
