[PATCH] CFQ io scheduler: scheduler switch oops
If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd work struct has been flushed. The problem is the ordering of cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd(). The latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.
