After digging from vmcore, I found that the queue is cleaned
up(blk_cleanup_queue() is done) and tag set is
freed(blk_mq_free_tag_set() is done).

There are two problems here:

1) blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues() will only be called from
__blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() if e->type->ops.has_work() return true.
This seems impossible because blk_cleanup_queue() is done, and there
should be no io. Commit ddc25c86b466 ("block, bfq: make bfq_has_work()
more accurate") fix the problem in bfq. And currently ohter schedulers
don't have such problem.

2) 'hctx->run_work' still exists after blk_cleanup_queue().
blk_mq_cancel_work_sync() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() to cancel
all the 'run_work'. However, there is no guarantee that new 'run_work'
won't be queued after that(and before blk_mq_exit_queue() is done).

It is blk_mq_run_hw_queue() caller's responsibility to grab
->q_usage_counter for avoiding queue cleaned up, so please fix the user
side.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

blk_mq_run_hw_queue() can be called async, in order to do that, what I
can think of is that grab 'q_usage_counte' before queuing 'run->work'
and release it after. Which is very similar to this patch...

Hi,

How do you think about following change:
