The approach of this patch series looks wrong to me and patch 5/5 is an ugly hack in my opinion. That's why I asked you to drop the entire patch series and to test whether inserting a queue run call into the dm-mpath end_io callback yields a similar performance improvement to the patches you posted. Please do not expect me to spend more time on this patch series if you do not come up with measurement results for the proposed alternative. Bart.
