Looks v4.11 plus your for-linus often triggers the following hang during boot, and it seems caused by the change in (blk-mq: unify hctx delayed_run_work and run_work) UG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/0:1H/704/0x00000002 Modules linked in: Preemption disabled at: [<ffffffffaf5607bb>] virtio_queue_rq+0xdb/0x350 CPU: 0 PID: 704 Comm: kworker/0:1H Not tainted 4.11.0-04508-ga1f35f46164b #132 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.9.3-1.fc25 04/01/2014 Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_run_work_fn Call Trace: dump_stack+0x65/0x8f ? virtio_queue_rq+0xdb/0x350 __schedule_bug+0x76/0xc0 __schedule+0x610/0x820 ? new_slab+0x2c9/0x590 schedule+0x40/0x90 schedule_timeout+0x273/0x320 ? ___slab_alloc+0x3cb/0x4f0 wait_for_completion+0x97/0x100 ? wait_for_completion+0x97/0x100 ? wake_up_q+0x80/0x80 flush_work+0x104/0x1a0 ? flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs+0x130/0x130 __cancel_work_timer+0xeb/0x160 ? vp_notify+0x16/0x20 ? virtqueue_add_sgs+0x23c/0x4a0 cancel_delayed_work_sync+0x13/0x20 blk_mq_stop_hw_queue+0x16/0x20 virtio_queue_rq+0x316/0x350 blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list+0x194/0x350 blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests+0x118/0x170 ? finish_task_switch+0x80/0x1e0 __blk_mq_run_hw_queue+0xa3/0xc0 blk_mq_run_work_fn+0x2c/0x30 process_one_work+0x1e0/0x400 worker_thread+0x48/0x3f0 kthread+0x109/0x140 ? process_one_work+0x400/0x400 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40 Thansk, Ming
