Hi Jens Please consider this patchset for 4.21. It refactors the code of issue request directly to unify the interface and make the code clearer and more readable. The 1st patch refactors the code of issue request directly to unify the helper interface which could handle all the cases. The 2nd patch make blk_mq_sched_insert_requests issue requests directly with 'bypass' false, then it needn't to handle the non-issued requests any more. The 3rd patch replace and kill the blk_mq_request_issue_directly. V8: - drop the original 2nd patch which try to insert requests into hctx->dispatch if quiesced or stopped. - remove two wrong 'unlikely' V7: - drop the original 3rd patch which try to ensure hctx to be ran on its mapped cpu in issueing directly path. V6: - drop original 1st patch to address Jen's comment - discard the enum mq_issue_decision and blk_mq_make_decision and use BLK_STS_* return values directly to address Jen's comment. (1/5) - add 'unlikely' in blk_mq_try_issue_directly (1/5) - refactor the 2nd and 3rd patch based on the new 1st patch. - reserve the unused_cookie in 4th and 5th patch V5: - rebase against Jens' for-4.21/block branch - adjust the order of patch04 and patch05 - add patch06 to replace and kill the one line blk_mq_request_bypass_insert - comment changes V4: - split the original patch 1 into two patches, 1st and 2nd patch currently - rename the mq_decision to mq_issue_decision - comment changes V3: - Correct the code about the case bypass_insert is true and io scheduler attached. The request still need to be issued in case above. (1/4) - Refactor the code to make code clearer. blk_mq_make_request is introduced to decide insert, end or just return based on the return value of .queue_rq and bypass_insert (1/4) - Add the 2nd patch. It introduce a new decision result which indicates to insert request with blk_mq_request_bypass_insert. - Modify the code to adapt the new patch 1. V2: - Add 1st and 2nd patch to refactor the code.
