Hi Jens, Request queues are run asynchronously if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has been set. This results in suboptimal performance. This patch series improves performance if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING has been set by running request queues synchronously whenever possible. Please consider this patch series for the next merge window. Thanks, Bart.
