That patch helps if .end_io() is called with status BLK_STS_RESOURCE and also if blk_insert_cloned_request() returns the .queue_rq() return value. It does not help if .queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and that return value gets ignored. I think that can happen as follows: - Request cloning in multipath_clone_and_map() succeeds and that function returns DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED. - dm_dispatch_clone_request() calls blk_insert_cloned_request(). - blk_insert_cloned_request() calls blk_mq_request_direct_issue(), which results in a call of __blk_mq_try_issue_directly(). - __blk_mq_try_issue_directly() calls blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). In this case the BLK_STS_RESOURCE returned by the .queue_rq() implementation of the underlying path will be ignored. Please note that I have not tried to find all paths that ignore the .queue_rq() return value.
