Please consider this patchset for V4.15, and it fixes one
kind of long-term I/O hang issue in either block legacy path
or blk-mq.

The current SCSI quiesce isn't safe and easy to trigger I/O deadlock.

Isn�t that material for -stable as well?

Yeah, the patch 6 is CCed to -stable.

I�d love to see this go into 4.14. Especially as its an LTS release.

I am fine with either 4.14 or 4.15, and it is up to Jens.

Thanks
Ming
