So, the dm_mod.use_blk_mq flag is global, right? I guess the question is whether all of the block device types used on a system under DM are supported under MQ. If that is the case then we would be OK. The other question is whether there are negative performance consequences in any (corner?) cases with MQ that would result in it being preferable to run in non-MQ mode (e.g. tag space with lpfc, did we ever resolve that?) but the right approach there is to put the effort into the MQ path going forward, as has been the case. -Ewan -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
