See my earlier post in this thread: there's a race in the write loop where a work struct could be used twice on the same queue. (Needs data structure change to fix that, which nobody has attempted to do yet.)
BTW To eliminate any internal lockdep concerns (and people say there should be no problem) temporarily add a second struct instead of reusing one on two queues.
