Are you saying your code works on top of 4.11-rc2, but not on top of my
for-linus?
I was actually on Linus 4.11-rc1 before I rebased on top of your
for-linus.
That seems odd. Looking at the oops, you are crashing with
!tags in __blk_mq_tag_idle. The below should work around it, but I'm
puzzled why this is new.
I got it just once (out of a single run :)), but maybe it is
possible that its racy and not really new.
But another example where this can happen:
blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs explicitly checks on hctx->tags != NULL
but right after calls blk_mq_exit_hctx() which goes in the
same route, won't this happen there too? Or is it assumed that
hctx->state does not have BLK_MQ_S_TAG_ACTIVE on here?
Is it related to the other path you fixed in this patch:

blk-mq: Fix tagset reinit in the presence of cpu hot-unplug
Since that's also handling hctx->tags == NULL.
The above patch prevented a NULL deref earlier when the
tags were reinitialized, now we are all setup and we
happen to remove an old namespace.

I'll see if I can test it out later this week. thanks.
