When adding devices that don't have a scsi_dh on a BIO based multipath, I was able to consistently hit the warning below and lock-up the system. The problem is that __map_bio reads the flag before it potentially being modified by choose_pgpath, and ends up using the older value. The WARN_ON below is not trivially linked to the issue. It goes like this: The activate_path delayed_work is not initialized for non-scsi_dh devices, but we always set MPATHF_QUEUE_IO, asking for initialization. That is fine, since MPATHF_QUEUE_IO would be cleared in choose_pgpath. Nevertheless, only for BIO-based mpath, we cache the flag before calling choose_pgpath, and use the older version when deciding if we should initialize the path. Therefore, we end up trying to initialize the paths, and calling the non-initialized activate_path work.
