Don't think we need to rush anything in response to that change in SCSI's default. old .request_fn DM multipath works happily ontop of blk-mq devices (so long as all paths are blk-mq). Similarly, blk-mq DM multipath works ontop of all blk-mq devices. Lastly, old .request_fn DM multipath ontop of old .request_fn paths works fine. It is just blk-mq DM multipath ontop of old .request_fn paths that is disallowed in current upstream code. But again, I really don't see why we should even want/need to support that mode... hence my question raised in this RFC. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
