I am encountering a fairly consistent crash anywhere from 15 minutes to
12 hours after boot with scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 dm_mod.use_blk_mq=1> 
The crash looks like:

Looking through the code, I'd guess that this is dying inside
blkg_rwstat_add, which calls percpu_counter_add_batch, which is what RIP
is pointing at.
Leaving the whole thing here for Paolo - it's crashing off insertion of
a request coming out of SG_IO. Don't think we've seen this BFQ failure
case before.

You can mitigate this by switching the scsi-mq devices to mq-deadline
instead.
I'm thinking that I should also be able to mitigate it by disabling
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP.

That should remove that entire chunk of code.

Of course, that won't help if this is actually a symptom of a bigger
problem.
