It's odd stuff. Could you perhaps try and add some printks to block/cfq-iosched.c:call_for_each_cic(), like dumping the 'nr' return from radix_tree_gang_lookup() and the pointer value of cics[i] in the for() loop after the lookup?

I met the same issue on ia64/NUMA box.
seems cisc[]->key is NULL and index for radix_tree_gang_lookup() was always '1'.
Attached patch works well for me,
but I don't know much about cfq. please confirm.

==
cics[]->key can be NULL.
In that case, cics[]->dead_key has key value.
