I'm coming up to speed with the blk-mq stuff only now. It looks like requests are sent to the driver via ->queue_rq() rather than the driver taking them via blk_fetch_request(q). Previously we would pull as many requests as were available, put them on the device's request queue, and then activate the rbd workqueue to handle them one-by-one using rbd_handle_request(). Now, the rbd queue_rq method rbd_request_workfn() adds the request to the rbd workqueue directly. The work_struct implicitly follows the request structure (which is set up by the blk-mq code). We have to do the REQ_TYPE_FS check at the time it's queued now, rather than when it's fetched from the queue. And finally we now have to tell the blk-mq subsystem when we've started and ended a request. I didn't follow up on all the tag_set initialization values so I assume you got that right (it looks reasonable to me). Given the above, it looks like everything else should work about the same as before, we're just handed requests rather than asking for them. With this patch applied, rbd_device->rq_queue is no longer needed so you should delete it. I got two warnings about endo-of-line whitespace in your patch. And I have one other very small suggestion below. Other than those things, this looks great to me.
