37f4a24c2469 has been reverted in:

	4e2f62e566b5 Revert "blk-mq: put driver tag when this request is completed"

And later the patch is committed as the following after being fixed:

	568f27006577 blk-mq: centralise related handling into blk_mq_get_driver_tag

So can you reproduce the issue by running kernel of commit 568f27006577?
If yes, can the issue be fixed by reverting 568f27006577?

Can you share the exact mount command line for setup the environment?
and the exact xfstest item?



Thanks,
