No, the original request is old request-based path (like I said in my previous reply to Bart). So RQ_MQ_INFLIGHT will _not_ have been set in the original request. It only gets set in the blk-mq blk_get_request() path. Unfortunately any flag changes that blk_get_request() does would get thrown away very quickly via __blk_rq_prep_clone(), which establishes the flags with: dst->cmd_flags = (src->cmd_flags & REQ_CLONE_MASK) | REQ_NOMERGE; The current call sequence is: 1) blk_get_request() -- via dm-mpath.c:__multipath_map() 2) __blk_mq_alloc_request() possibly sets REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT 3) blk_rq_prep_clone() copies cmd_flags to the clone; overwriting the clone's cmd_flags! So the problem must be that REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT is getting dropped on the floor in step 3. The ability to cope with the clone request allocation establishing flags in the clone before actually copying the original request's flags state is a new requirement from blk-mq. Should __blk_rq_prep_clone() be updated to preserve REQ_CLONE_MASK in the cloned request too? E.g. patch at the end of this mail? > And when that completes, we complete the original?

Yes, once the blk-mq requests issued to the underlying blk-mq devices complete the original (old) request is completed. block/blk-core.c | 3 ++- include/linux/blk_types.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/block/blk-core.c b/block/blk-core.c index 7e78931..40071de 100644 --- a/block/blk-core.c +++ b/block/blk-core.c @@ -2895,7 +2895,8 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(blk_rq_unprep_clone); static void __blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *dst, struct request *src) { dst->cpu = src->cpu; - dst->cmd_flags = (src->cmd_flags & REQ_CLONE_MASK) | REQ_NOMERGE; + dst->cmd_flags = (dst->cmd_flags & REQ_PRESERVE_CLONE_MASK) | + (src->cmd_flags & REQ_CLONE_MASK) | REQ_NOMERGE; dst->cmd_type = src->cmd_type; dst->__sector = blk_rq_pos(src); dst->__data_len = blk_rq_bytes(src); diff --git a/include/linux/blk_types.h b/include/linux/blk_types.h index 445d592..f5ac72d 100644 --- a/include/linux/blk_types.h +++ b/include/linux/blk_types.h @@ -212,6 +212,7 @@ enum rq_flag_bits { REQ_DISCARD | REQ_WRITE_SAME | REQ_NOIDLE | REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA | \ REQ_SECURE | REQ_INTEGRITY) #define REQ_CLONE_MASK REQ_COMMON_MASK +#define REQ_PRESERVE_CLONE_MASK REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT #define BIO_NO_ADVANCE_ITER_MASK (REQ_DISCARD|REQ_WRITE_SAME) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
