OK good, thanks for testing! Linus, can you just pick up the below? I
can prep a pull as well, but not ready to send the remaining merge
window fixes just yet.

Subject: [PATCH] block: limit block time caching to in_task() context

We should not have any callers of this from non-task context, but Jakub
ran [1] into one from blk-iocost. Rather than risk running into others,
or future ones, just limit blk_time_get_ns() to when it is called from
a task. Any other usage is invalid.
