I just started running it in 5.19.2 to see if it breaks something;
no issues so far but then again I didn't have any problems to begin with
and only do peasant I/O load, and no MegaRAID.
However if it applies *and builds* on 5.12 I'd just go ahead and see what
catches fire. But you need to set the megaraid setting to fail, otherwise we
won't be able to see whether this is really a contributing factor,
or indeed the other commit that Jan identified.
Unfortunately 5.12 is a bit old already and most of the other important
fixes to sbitmap.c probably won't apply due to some other blk-mq changes.

In any case the plot thickens, so keep going. :)
