Hmmm... probably cic allocation failure?

Yeah, those are blk-ioc cleanup patches.  I was wishing to merge them
earlier.

You were likely seeing the same problem, just showing up differently.
Hmm.... we always had the problem of allocation failure in cfq could
lead to deadlock.  It's just that those cases happened infrequently

can you reproduce the problem?

Thanks.
