Since commit430a67f9d6("block, bfq: merge bursts of newly-created queues"), BFQ may schedule a merge between a newly created sync bfq_queue, say Q2, and the last sync bfq_queue created, say Q1. To this goal, BFQ stores the address of Q1 in the field bic->stable_merge_bfqq of the bic associated with Q2. So, when the time for the possible merge arrives, BFQ knows which bfq_queue to merge Q2 with. In particular, BFQ checks for possible merges on request arrivals. Yet the same bic may also be associated with an async bfq_queue, say Q3. So, if a request for Q3 arrives, then the above check may happen to be executed while the bfq_queue at hand is Q3, instead of Q2. In this case, Q1 happens to be merged with an async bfq_queue. This is not only a conceptual mistake, because async queues are to be kept out of queue merging, but also a bug that leads to inconsistent states. This commits simply filters async queues out of delayed merges.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
