If I understand it correctly, considering the
kobject_uevent may allocate memory and it may be called while there are dm
devices suspended. The allocation may recurse into a suspended device,
causing a deadlock. We must set the noio flag when sending a uevent.
This is the observed deadlock:
iSCSI-write
holding: rx_queue_mutex
