Sorry but the approach of this patch looks wrong to me. I'm afraid that this
approach will cause 100% CPU consumption if the underlying .queue_rq()
function returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE for another reason than what can be detected
by the .get_budget() call. This can happen if e.g. a SCSI LLD .queuecommand()
implementation returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY. Many SCSI LLDs can do this:
$ git grep 'SCSI_MLQUEUE_[^_]*_BUSY' | wc -l
204
Isn't this a severe regression?
Bart.
