Sorry for not answering it in 1st place, but later I realized that:

Also wrt. HPSA's queue, looks they are not usual IO queue(such as NVMe's
hw queue) which supposes to be C/S model. And HPSA's queue is more like
a management queue, I guess, since HPSA is still a single queue HBA,
from blk-mq view.

Cc HPSA and SCSI guys.

Thanks,
