IMO, the above trace means that blk_mq_in_flight() may be the bottleneck, and looks

Kashyap, could you run your performance test again after disabling iostat by the following
command on all test devices and killing all utilities which may read iostat(/proc/diskstats, ...)?

	echo 0 > /sys/block/sdN/queue/iostat
