Hi Jens, while looking at the polling code I wonder if we have to keep supporting the change of the io_poll attribute and thus the poll flag on a live queue. The support to change this goes back to before supporting the explicit poll queues, and was used as the prime interface to enable polling. Now that we use explicit poll queues the driver specific paramters to set them up work as the prime interface to enable polling. They can still be changed at runtime, although much more invasively (i.e. controller reset in nvme). The upside is that we don't need to bother with draining the bios and two queue flags, and don't have a confusing duplicated user interface.
