Re: [PATCH 12/15] block: switch polling to be bio based

On 5/12/21 6:15 AM, Christoph Hellwig wrote:
Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

  - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
  - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
    separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
  - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
    support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
  - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
    be removed entirely.

What happens if the I/O wasn't (yet) queued to the bottom device
(i.e. no available path in nvme-mpath)?

In this case the disk would be the mpath device node (which is
not mq...)
