No problem. Changed the subject and also added the info about queue
lock in the description. Please check.

-----------------------
blk-exec.c: In blk_execute_rq_nowait(), if the queue is dead, call to
done() routine is not made. That will result in blk_execute_rq() stuck
in wait_for_completion(). Avoid this by initializing rq->end_io to
done() routine before we check for dead queue.

Also, in case of dead queue, call the completion routine with queue->lock held.
