If you are still looking at removing the blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() calls then I think you are looking in the wrong direction. What kind of problem are you trying to solve? Is it perhaps that there can be a delay between dm-mpath request completion and the queueing of a new request? If so, adding a queue run call into the dm-mpath end_io callback is probably sufficient and probably can replace this entire patch series. Bart.
