Hello Adrian,

I have discovered, that beggining with 4.16-rc1 bonnie++ benchmark
runs with errors on arc/hsdk board. After bisecting between 4.15 and 4.16-rc1,
I have found that errors started after 
commit 81196976ed94 (mmc: block: Add blk-mq support).

Error message is like:

| # bonnie++ -u root -r 256 -s 512 -x 1 -d  /mnt 
| Using uid:0, gid:0.

There are some details of hsdk_defconfig presented bellow:

SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y
DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y
DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT=10
MMC_DW=y
MMC_DW_PLTFM=y

I have also tested bonnie++ on Wandboard on v4.16-rc5 with the same
DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT=10, but there were no errors.

Even though it is not critical error and we see bonnie++ test proceeds to the end,
still it is strange, that some process is running in kernel space for a long time (at least 10sec).
What is strange, before metioned commit I can't reproduce this behaviour.

I am wondering is this expected behaviour? 

Best regards,
Evgeniy Didin
