+AD4 +AD4 Hence return BLK+AF8-STS+AF8-OK if one of these functions is called. This patch
+AD4 +AD4 avoids that blk+AF8-mq+AF8-dispatch+AF8-rq+AF8-list() crashes when using dm-mpath.

+AD4 This change itself is correct.
+AD4 
+AD4 However, there is other issue introduced by 7f556a44e61d.
+AD4 
+AD4 We need blk+AF8-insert+AF8-cloned+AF8-request() to pass back BLK+AF8-STS+AF8-RESOURCE/BLK+AF8-STS+AF8-RESOURCE
+AD4 to caller, so that dm-rq driver may see the underlying queue is busy, then tell
+AD4 blk-mq to deal with the busy condition from dm-rq queue, so that IO
+AD4 merge can get improved.
+AD4 
+AD4 That is exactly what 396eaf21ee17c476e8f6 (+ACI-blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging
+AD4 via blk+AF8-insert+AF8-cloned+AF8-request feedback+ACI) did.
+AD4 
+AD4 There must be performance regression with 7f556a44e61d by cut the feedback.
+AD4 
+AD4 So could you fix them all in one patch?

Since commit 7f556a44e61d introduced multiple problems and since fixing
these is nontrivial, how about reverting that commit?

Thanks,

Bart.
