Hmm. That's the

    WARN_ON_ONCE(rq->mq_ctx != ctx);

that I added to blk_mq_merge_queue_io(), and I really think that
warning is valid, and the fact that it triggers shows that something
is wrong with locking.

We just did a

                spin_lock(&ctx->lock);

and that lock is *supposed* to protect the __blk_mq_insert_request(),
but that uses rq->mq_ctx.

So if rq->mq_ctx != ctx, then we're locking the wrong context.

Jens - please explain to me why I'm wrong.

Or maybe I actually might have found the problem? In which case please
send me a patch that fixes it ;)

Dave: it might be a good idea to split that "WARN_ON_ONCE()" in
blk_mq_merge_queue_io() into two, since right now it can trigger both
for the

                blk_mq_bio_to_request(rq, bio);

path _and_ for the

                if (!blk_mq_attempt_merge(q, ctx, bio)) {
                        blk_mq_bio_to_request(rq, bio);
                        goto insert_rq;

path. If you split it into two: one before that "insert_rq:" label,
and one before the "goto insert_rq" thing, then we could see if it is
just one of the blk_mq_merge_queue_io() cases (or both) that is
broken..
