The change itself doesn't make a difference, since both results in choosing
HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT, but passing REQ_OP_WRITE is a bit misleading.

Well, the argument is an operationm so we better pass in a correct
operation (at some point we should look into a __bitwise annotation
or similar to make it clean).  And as 0 is REQ_OP_READ, we will end
up with the HCTX_TYPE_READ hctx IFF someone configures read queues
and uses an sq only schedule.  Which is a completely stupid but
possible setup.

Hi Christoph,

I looked into adding a __bitwise annotation for request flags by introducing a new type that is called blk_mq_opf_t. Introducing such a type without modifying a lot of code seems difficult to me. This is what I ran into: * If the type of the operation type constants (REQ_OP_READ etc.) is modified into blk_mq_opf_t then their type changes from 'enum req_opf' into type blk_mq_opf_t and sparse complains when passing e.g. REQ_OP_READ to a function that accepts an argument with type enum req_opf. * If the type of the operation type constants is not modified then sparse complains about bitwise or-ing the operation type and a request flag, e.g. REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_FUA.

I'm not sure how to solve this other than by modifying the functions that accept an 'opf' argument into accepting an additional argument (enum req_opf op + blk_mq_opf_t op_flags).

Thanks,

Bart.
