And I also learned (ouch) that both doesn't cut it either. Ksoftirqd
(or sirq-blk) being nailed by q->lock in blk_done_softirq() is.. not
particularly wonderful. As long as that doesn't happen, IO deadlock
doesn't happen, troublesome filesystems just work. If it does happen
though, you've instantly got a problem.
