I tried mq-deadline and I did not see this. Anyway else special or 
specific about your test?

However, I see other issues for that (setting the scheduler), that being 
scsi timeouts when I start running IO and hotplugging CPUs. I should 
have tested the scheduler != none previously for "blk-mq: improvement 
CPU hotplug (simplified version) " series ...

I'll check Ming's patch "[PATCH] blk-mq: don't fail driver tag 
allocation because of inactive hctx" for that.

Thanks,
John
