We do test on a virtio scsi device (/dev/sda) and the default mq

blk_finish_plug

       scsi_mq_get_budget
       //get budget_token fail and sdev->restarts=1

			     	 scsi_end_request
				   scsi_run_queue_async
                                    //sdev->restart=0 and run queue

      blk_mq_request_bypass_insert
         //add request to hctx->dispatch list

Here the issue shouldn't be related with scsi's get budget or
scsi_run_queue_async.

If blk-mq adds request into ->dispatch_list, it is blk-mq core's
responsibility to re-run queue for moving on. Can you investigate a
bit more why blk-mq doesn't run queue after adding request to
hctx dispatch list?

I think Yufen is probably thinking about the following Concurrent
scenario:

blk_mq_flush_plug_list
# assume there are three rq
 blk_mq_plug_issue_direct
  blk_mq_request_issue_directly
  # dispatch rq1, succeed
  blk_mq_request_issue_directly
  # dispatch rq2
   __blk_mq_try_issue_directly
    blk_mq_get_dispatch_budget
     scsi_mq_get_budget
      atomic_inc(&sdev->restarts);
      # rq2 failed to get budget
      # restarts is 1 now
                                        scsi_end_request
                                        # rq1 is completed
                                        ┊scsi_run_queue_async
atomic_cmpxchg(&sdev->restarts, old, 0) == old
                                        ┊ # set restarts to 0
                                        ┊ blk_mq_run_hw_queues
                                        ┊ # hctx->dispatch list is empty
  blk_mq_request_bypass_insert
  # insert rq2 to hctx->dispatch list

 blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list
 # continue to dispatch rq3
  blk_mq_sched_insert_requests
   blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly
   # blk_mq_run_hw_queue() won't be called
   # because dispatching is succeed
                                        scsi_end_request
                                        ┊# rq3 is complete
                                        ┊ scsi_run_queue_async
                                        ┊ # restarts is 0, won't run queue

The root cause is that the failed dispatching is not the last rq,
and last rq is dispatched sucessfully.
