The previous code getting the ioc with the rq_ioc(bio) call was essentially the same and there was no "if (!ioc) return;" in blk_mq_sched_assign_ioc() before the patch. Any idea why this is popping up now ? Ming, Is this a new test your are running ? If this same problem triggers on stable kernels, Jens patch needs to go to stable too.
