Because we may call blk_mq_get_driver_tag() directly from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() without holding any lock, then HARDIRQ may come and the above DEADLOCK is triggered. Commit ab53dcfb3e7b ("sbitmap: Protect swap_lock from hardirq") tries to fix this issue by using 'spin_lock_bh', which isn't enough because we complete request from hardirq context direclty in case of multiqueue.

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.
