I'm confused, the first thing we check in make_request is:
if (unlikely(is_flush_fua)) {
blk_mq_bio_to_request(rq, bio);
if (q->elevator) {
blk_mq_sched_insert_request(rq, false, true, true,
true);
} else {
blk_insert_flush(rq);
blk_mq_run_hw_queue(data.hctx, true);
}
}
and can_block doesn't do anything in the !flush case, so shouldn't it be
changed in that one instead?
Alternatively, blk_mq_get_tag() knows how to drop the ctx before it
sleeps, but blk_mq_get_driver_tag() doesn't set data.ctx. I'm not sure
if that'll do what we want, and this is making my head hurt.
