So Kenneth if you could look into this one as well, to see if

For that to work, you have to change the get_io_context() allocation to
be GFP_ATOMIC.

I guess this isn't a problem, as io contexts should be allocated
comparatively rarely. It would be possible to move it out of the
lock though if we really want to.

Thanks.
