OK strange, there hasn't been that much churn since the last rebase.
In my for-linus, there's a patch for a single queue crash, but that
should just hit for the removal case. And then there's the atomic
schedule patch, but that issue was actually in the code base for
about a month, so not a new one either.

You're request initializaion optimization doesn't set up req->cmd and
thus causes all BLOCK_PC I/O (including the SCSI LUN scan) to crash and
burn. The trivial fix is on your way.

OK. That'll arguably be a good cleanup as well, getting that initialized in the right place. I hate the 'lets clear all the memory' part of rq init, it's not super cheap to do.

The performance regression is caused by "blk-mq: avoid code
duplication", but I don't really understand why yet.

Gah, looks like this one dropped the tag idling. I bet that is why.
