3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit d15bb3a6467e102e60d954aadda5fb19ce6fd8ec upstream. It is required to hold the queue lock when calling blk_run_queue_async() to avoid that a race between blk_run_queue_async() and blk_cleanup_queue() is triggered.
