Hum, interesting. So it seems that blk_trace_remove_queue() got struct
blk_trace which isn't healthy - list_head has been zeroed out and since
this is the first thing we touch in the structure we don't really know what
else is in there. But I don't see how such structure could get there since
all places that modify q->blk_trace seem to hold bdev->bd_mutex.
OTOH the code in blk_trace_setup_queue() does:
old_bt = xchg(&q->blk_trace, bt);
if (old_bt != NULL) {
(void)xchg(&q->blk_trace, old_bt);
ret = -EBUSY;
goto free_bt;
}
Which looks somewhat strange if modifications of q->blk_trace are really
guarded by bd_mutex. Jens?
