Just a bit curious, why not extend it for all(both synchronous and
asynchrounous) bio-based drivers? As you mentioned in introductory
message, all bio based drivers may have this kind of problem.

One idea I thought of is to hold the usage counter in bio life time,
instead of request's life time like in blk-mq.

It isn't enough for asynchrounous bio drivers.
