Dan reports the following smatch detected the following:
block/blk-cgroup.c:1863 blkcg_schedule_throttle() warn: sleeping in atomic context
caused by blkcg_schedule_throttle() calling blk_put_queue() in an
non-sleepable context.
blk_put_queue() acquired might_sleep() in 63f93fd6fa57 ("block: mark
blk_put_queue as potentially blocking") which transferred the might_sleep()
from blk_free_queue().
blk_free_queue() acquired might_sleep() in e8c7d14ac6c3 ("block: revert back
to synchronous request_queue removal") while turning request_queue removal
synchronous. However, this isn't necessary as nothing in the free path
actually requires sleeping.
It's pretty unusual to require a sleeping context in a put operation and
it's not needed in the first place. Let's drop it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
