Good day Neil, all

if I understand right, we disable irqs in handle_stripe()
just because of using device_lock which can be grabbed
from interrupt context (_end_io functions). can we replace
it by a new separate spinlock and don't block interrupts
in handle_stripe() + add_stripe_bio() ?

thanks, Alex
