I am completely lost about what you are talking about.

That is fine with me, but in case there is anything to test=E2=80=A6 let me=
=20
know. I do not promise quick responses tough, as I have been quite a bit=20
overwhelmed with stuff lately.

Currently I run 4.17-rc7 without any blk-mq related patches and it=20
appears to be free of hangs or stalls related to blk-mq.
