This is needed:

diff --git a/fs/io-wq.c b/fs/io-wq.c

 	if (stall_hash != -1U) {
-		raw_spin_unlock(&wqe->lock);

 		io_wait_on_hash(wqe, stall_hash);

 	return NULL;


otherwise the spinlock_t lock in io_wait_on_hash() is acquired with
disabled interrupts which is a no-no on -RT.
With that it all looks good as far as I can tell.
Thank you.
