Hello,

It looks caused by that &ret.event in submit_bio_wait() is initialized
with the same class for all layers. I mean that completion variables in
different layers should be initialized with different classes, as you do
for typical locks in xfs.

I am not sure if I understand how xfs works correctly. Right? If yes,
how can we distinguish between independent 'bio's in submit_bio_wait()?
You or I can make it work with the answer. No?
