To be clear, are you saying that you see the issue which patch "blk-mq:
Fix blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() for shared tags" fixes before v5.16-rc?

This patch (now commit 0994c64eb415) and the commit which it is supposed
to fix, e155b0c238b2, will only be in v5.16, so I don't see anything
which is needed in stable.

Thanks,
John
