When blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues sets an hctx to run in the future, it can reset the delay length for an already pending delayed work run_work. This creates a scenario where multiple hctx may have their queues set to run, but if one runs first and finds nothing to do, it can reset the delay of another hctx and stall the other hctx's ability to run requests. To avoid this I/O stall when an hctx's run_work is already pending, leave it untouched to run at its current designated time rather than extending its delay. The work will still run which keeps closed the race calling blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queues is needed for while also avoiding the I/O stall.

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.
