I don't understand what you mean.

The affected device returns 1. My understanding is that mq does not work 
with legacy non-UAS devices.

My device topology roughly looks like:

NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINTS
sda           8:0    0 [snip]  0 disk
├─sda1        8:1    0 [snip]  0 part

> 2、Please describe in detail how to reproduce the issue,

1. Plug in the device.
2. Execute Show Blocked Tasks. udev is stuck.

> And what type of USB device?

It is a cheap unbranded USB flash drive.

> 3、Please help to try the attachment patch and see if it can be reproduced.

Cheers,
