The need to rebuild the cookie here is pretty awkward. This
optimization living in block core may be worthwhile but the duality of
block core conditionally overriding the driver's returned cookie (that
is meant to be opaque to upper layer) is not great.

Nit: Not seeing need to alter white space here.

As you pointed out to me in private, but for the benefit of others,
blkdev_get_no_open()'s need to take inode lock is not ideal here.

These checks really aren't authoritative or safe enough. If the bdev
may have changed then it may not have queue_num hctxs (so you'd access
out-of-bounds). Similarly, a new bdev may have queue_num hctxs and may
just so happen to have its type be HCTX_TYPE_POLL.. but in reality it
isn't the same bdev the cookie was generated from.
And I'm now curious how blk-mq's polling code isn't subject to async io
polling tripping over the possibility of the underlying device having
been changed out from under it -- meaning should this extra validation
be common to bio and request-based? If not, why not?

Again, this just seems too limiting. Would rather always call into
disk->fops->poll and have it optimize for single hctx based on cookie it
established.
Not seeing why all this needs to be driven by block core _yet_.
Could be I'm just wanting some flexibility for the design to harden (and
potential for optimization left as a driver concern.. as I mentioned in
my reply to the 0th patch header for this v5 patchset).

Pulling on same thread I raised above, the cookie is meant to be
opaque. Pinning down how the cookie is (ab)used in block core seems to
undermine the intended flexibility.
I'd much rather these details be pushed into drivers/md/bio-poll.h or
something for the near-term. We can always elevate it to block core
if/when there is sufficient justification.
Just feels we're getting too constraining too quickly.
