SubjectRe: Strange block/scsi/workqueue issue
From
Date
While you still have the problematic system, can you try this patch?  It
avoids changing anything in block (other than to add a missing state
guard for the elv_next_request). If it works, we can defer the sync vs
async discussion and use it for a -stable fix.

Thanks,

James
