Hi Paolo,

Sorry for the delay! Here you go:

(gdb) list *(bfq_serv_to_charge+0x21)
0xffffffff814bad91 is in bfq_serv_to_charge (./include/linux/blkdev.h:919).
914	
915	extern unsigned int blk_rq_err_bytes(const struct request *rq);
916	
917	static inline unsigned int blk_rq_sectors(const struct request *rq)
918	{
919		return blk_rq_bytes(rq) >> SECTOR_SHIFT;
920	}
921	
922	static inline unsigned int blk_rq_cur_sectors(const struct request *rq)
923	{
(gdb) 


For some reason, I've not been able to reproduce this issue after
reporting it here. (Perhaps I got lucky when I hit the kernel panic
a bunch of times last week).

I'll test with your fix applied and see how it goes.

Thank you!

Regards,
Srivatsa
