For testing it I add it to 4.16.2 with the patches I have already?
- '[PATCH] blk-mq_Directly schedule q->timeout_work when aborting a
request.mbox'
- '[PATCH v2] block: Change a rcu_read_{lock,unlock}_sched() pair into
rcu_read_{lock,unlock}().mbox'
- '[PATCH V4 1_2] blk-mq_set RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED when the rq'\''s
timeout isn'\''t handled.mbox'
- '[PATCH V4 2_2] blk-mq_fix race between complete and
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER.mbox'
