I think you just hit the issue as mentioned in another thread.
To reproduce the issue reproduce to hit the condition that:
1. blk_mq_hctx_notify_offline() BLK_MQ_S_INACTIVE with the barrier ...
... while ...
2. blk_mq_get_tag() gets the tag but BLK_MQ_S_INACTIVE is already set.
Therefore, it would put the tag to release it.
