Hi Jens,
unfortunately, the patch "block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues
in burst exit", queued for 4.15 [1] introduces a bug, described in
detail in the commit message of this patch. If triggered, this bug may
cause loss of control on I/O-request service order.

Please queue this fix right after the patch introducing the bug.

Thanks,
Paolo
