The approach used in blk_execute_rq() can be borrowed for workaround the
issue, such as:

Instead of suppressing the hung task complaints, has it been considered 
to use the bio splitting mechanism to make discard bios smaller? Block 
drivers may set a limit by calling blk_queue_max_discard_segments(). 
 From block/blk-settings.c:

/**
  * blk_queue_max_discard_segments - set max segments for discard
  * requests
  * @q:  the request queue for the device
  * @max_segments:  max number of segments
  *
  * Description:
  *    Enables a low level driver to set an upper limit on the number of
  *    segments in a discard request.
  **/
void blk_queue_max_discard_segments(struct request_queue *q,
		unsigned short max_segments)
{
	q->limits.max_discard_segments = max_segments;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(blk_queue_max_discard_segments);

Thanks,

Bart.
