And looking at the change, it looks like the right thing we should
have done is caching @lock on the print_blkg side and when switching
locks make sure both locks are held. IOW, do the following in
blk_cleanup_queue()
spin_lock_irq(lock);
if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock) {
spin_lock(&q->__queue_lock);
q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock;
spin_unlock(&q->__queue_lock);
}
spin_unlock_irq(lock);
Otherwise, there can be two lock holders thinking they have exclusive
access to the request_queue.
Thanks.
