Hi Jens and Ming, I've been looking into properly supporting queue freezing for bio based drivers (that is only release q_usage_counter on bio completion for them). And the deeper I look into the code the more I'm confused by us having the blk_mq_quiesce* interface in addition to blk_freeze_queue. What is a good reason to do a quiesce separately from a freeze?
