Other observations:

1. Issue is not coming with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=n
2. FIO repo used: https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/fio/
3. FIO branch (commit): master (7037b83)
4. When compile fio with CFLAG+= +g, crash is coming at file:io_u.c:2274.

Please suggest your views. Thanks.

Hello @pangupta :

What happens when you set disk_util=0 ?

[pangupta]

with --disk_util=0, same crash is seen.
