Hello I'm observing an issue in blk when [none] elevator is used with kernel 5.19.y, the issue is not observed in 5.18.y kernel line. The issue is reproducible: 100% time with [none] io scheduler (no issue with mq--deadline) The command in dmesg trace depends about time when [none] io scheduler was chosen by: echo "none" > /sys/block/vda/queue/scheduler it can be mkfs, systemd-logind, flush, ... the first command which was executed and doing some IO after the io scheduler change to [none], PS: the system is still working after the issue report.
