blk_mq_free_request() always triggers a call of blk_queue_exit(). dd_put_request() only triggers a call of blk_queue_exit() if it is not a shadow request. Is that on purpose?

+blk_mq_sched_get_request(struct request_queue *q, unsigned int op,

Some but not all callers of blk_mq_sched_get_request() call blk_queue_exit() if this function returns NULL. Please consider to move the blk_queue_exit() call from the blk_mq_alloc_request() error path into this function. I think that will make it a lot easier to verify whether or not the blk_queue_enter() / blk_queue_exit() calls are balanced properly.

Additionally, since blk_queue_enter() / blk_queue_exit() calls by blk_mq_sched_get_request() and blk_mq_sched_put_request() must be balanced and since the latter function only calls blk_queue_exit() for non-shadow requests, shouldn't blk_mq_sched_get_request() call blk_queue_enter_live() only if __blk_mq_alloc_request() is called?

Thanks,

Bart.
