I think it should just switch to using __smp_call_function_single directly, mirroring commit 3d6efbf62c797a2924785f482e4ce8aa8820ec72 for the blk-mq core. I've actually a patch in the queue that allows generic request completion offloading similar to blk_complete_request() in the old request code, but it'll need a bit more polishing first. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
