This way may break the contract of blk_mq_quiesce_queue() and is really weird.
And the above change shouldn't be related with this patchset, so better
to do whatever you want once this patch is merged.
This patchset won't break current SCSI uses of blk_mq_quiesce_queue() and
won't cause regression, and I setup one iSCSI target yesterday and it works
just fine, how about just keeping this patch as it is?
Once it is merged, you can figure out one perfect solution, but
the contract of blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still shouldn't be broken.
Thanks,
Ming
