scsi_device_quiesce() uses synchronize_rcu() to guarantee that the effect of blk_set_preempt_only() will be visible for percpu_ref_tryget() calls that occur after the queue unfreeze by using the approach explained in https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/. The rcu read lock and unlock calls in blk_queue_enter() form a pair with the synchronize_rcu() call in scsi_device_quiesce(). Both scsi_device_quiesce() and blk_queue_enter() must either use regular RCU or RCU-sched. Since neither the RCU-protected code in blk_queue_enter() nor blk_queue_usage_counter_release() sleeps, regular RCU protection is sufficient. Note: scsi_device_quiesce() does not have to be modified since it already uses synchronize_rcu().
