General protection fault with use_blk_mq=1.

[Zephaniah E. Loss-Cutler-Hull]

I am not subscribed to any of the lists on the To list here, please CC
me on any replies.

I am encountering a fairly consistent crash anywhere from 15 minutes to
12 hours after boot with scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 dm_mod.use_blk_mq=1

The crash looks like:

(I only have the one instance right this minute as a result of not
having remote syslog setup before now.)

This is clearly deep in the blk_mq code, and it goes away when I remove
the use_blk_mq kernel command line parameters.

My next obvious step is to try and disable the load of the vbox modules.

I can include the full dmesg output if it would be helpful.

The system is an older HP Ultrabook, and the root partition is, sda1 (a
SSD) -> a LUKS encrypted partition -> LVM -> BTRFS.

The kernel is a stock 4.15.11, however I only recently added the blk_mq
options, so while I can state that I have seen this on multiple kernels
in the 4.15.x series, I have not tested earlier kernels in this
configuration.

Looking through the code, I'd guess that this is dying inside
blkg_rwstat_add, which calls percpu_counter_add_batch, which is what RIP
is pointing at.
