According to Documentation/block/stat.rst, inflight should not include I/O requests that are in the queue but not yet dispatched to the device, but blk-mq identifies as inflight any request that has a tag allocated, which, for queues without elevator, happens at request allocation time and before it is queued in the ctx (default case in blk_mq_submit_bio). A more precise approach would be to only consider requests with state MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT.
