Hi Holger,

That is great to see this patch fixes your issue, and thanks for your
test!

Jens, Martin, would any of you mind making this patch in V4.15? Since
it fixes real use cases and this way is exact what we do before
0df21c86bdbf("scsi: implement .get_budget and .put_budget for blk-mq").


Thanks,
Ming
