Hi Jens, One of the consequences of the switch to blk-mq is that generic_make_request() calls, a function called by submit_bio(), must be protected by a blk_queue_enter() / blk_queue_exit() pair to avoid that the block-cgroup functions called by generic_make_request() trigger a race condition. This patch series makes the kernel report a warning if that race condition is hit and also adds the necessary protection in submit_bio(). Please consider these patches for kernel v5.4.
Thanks, Bart.
