Hmm. That does sound like it might be it.

At this point, the patches from Ming Lei seem to be a riskier approach
than perhaps just reverting the megaraid_sas change?

It looks like those patches are queued up for 5.11, and we could
re-apply the megaraid_sas change then?

Jens, comments?

And Julia - if it's that thing, then a

    git revert 103fbf8e4020

would be the thing to test.
