Certain code in the block layer assumes that requests submitted on a
polling queue (HCTX_TYPE_POLL) are completed in thread context. Hence
this patch that modifies ufshcd_poll() such that only requests are
completed for the hardware queue that is being examined instead of all
hardware queues. The block layer code that makes this assumption is the
bio caching code. From block/bio.c:
If REQ_ALLOC_CACHE is set, the final put of the bio MUST be done
from process context, not hard/soft IRQ.
The REQ_ALLOC_CACHE flag is set for polled I/O (REQ_POLLED) since
kernel v5.15. See also commit be4d234d7aeb ("bio: add allocation cache
abstraction").
Please drop this patch - I plan to send an improved version later.
