Sorry I did not get that why do we need to check again for DEAD after realeasing the queue lock. From throttling perspective, we grab lock once, if queue is DEAD, release lock and just return.
blk_throtl_bio() {
bunch_of_checks_without_queue_lock;
spin_lock() if (queue_dead) { spin_unlock() return; }
throtl_get_tg(); }

No, this is a minor nit. Probably will change it sometime in future as part of some other work in blk-throttle.
Thanks Vivek
