Hello,

This one is a valid use case for VM, I think we need to fix that.

Looks there is issue on the fouth patch("blk-mq: only select online
CPUs in blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu"), I fixed it in the following tree, and
the other 3 patches are same with Christoph's:

	https://github.com/ming1/linux.git  v4.15-rc-block-for-next-cpuhot-fix

gitweb:
	https://github.com/ming1/linux/commits/v4.15-rc-block-for-next-cpuhot-fix

Could you test it and provide the feedback?

BTW, if it can't help this issue, could you boot from a normal disk first
and dump blk-mq debugfs of DASD later?

Thanks, 
Ming
