+AD4 +AD4 Hello Jens,
+AD4 +AD4 
+AD4 +AD4 Can you share your opinion about the above patch?
+AD4 
+AD4 I just convince myself that the list check is super useful. The request
+AD4 could be on any number of lists, either not yet seen by the driver, or
+AD4 maybe sitting in dispatch. You're only going to be finding these
+AD4 requests if the tag is allocated, which means that it's already in some
+AD4 sort of non-idle state.
+AD4 
+AD4 So enlighten me why we need the list check at all? Wouldn't it be better
+AD4 to simply remove it, and ensure that the debug print includes things
+AD4 like list state, rq state, etc?

Hello Jens,

I have tried to leave the list+AF8-empty() check out but if I do that then
requests that have the state +ACI-idle+ACI (allocated but not yet started) also
show up. I think these should be left out from the output produced by
reading the +ACI-busy+ACI attribute because such requests are not interesting
when analyzing an I/O lockup:

nullb0/hctx1/busy:00000000abe67123 +AHs.op+AD0-READ, .cmd+AF8-flags+AD0, .rq+AF8-flags+AD0-IO+AF8-STAT+AHw-STATS, .s
tate+AD0-idle, .tag+AD0-63, .internal+AF8-tag+AD0--1+AH0

Thanks,

Bart.
