Hello Bart

I applied and tested all patches except patch 2/7 (as discussed)
I also still have the prior patch in place you sent me.

I built a new kernel on 4.13-rc3

The soft lockups are gone for me with 10 parallel writes.
I also have not seen a hard lockup so far.

What is important to note is that if I use the [none] scheduler I am
still stable but I will sporadically get the      ******
"[38071.773471] device-mapper: multipath: blk_get_request() returned
-11 - requeuing
"

However that is not unexpected I guess.

The ( requeuing messages) do NOT show up with [mq-deadline] which is
all I was testing with last night and yesterday. So when I said they
are gone, that was specifically for [mq-deadline]

Patches look good and are helping. I will circle back and patch and
test on Ming's kernel.

For the series except PATCH2/7 and including

[PATCH] block: Make blk_mq_delay_kick_requeue_list() rerun the queue at
a quiet time
