Sorry that I realized this is still not enough, following list_empty()
and list_entry() can still concurrent with list_del(). Please try the
following patch:
sure will try and update the results.


At least for 80+hrs of testing, i didn't see the issue reproduced. seems like it is helping my case.

spin_lock_irq(&q->queue_lock);
         list_splice_init(&q->icq_list, &icq_list);
         spin_unlock_irq(&q->queue_lock);

                 spin_unlock_irq(&icq->ioc->lock);
