Hi,
Please review the 2 patches in this series. I'm left on-the-fence
about whether there is any point re-enabling "dm-mq stacked on old
.request_fn device(s)" -- especially given the awkward details
documented in the 1/2 patch header.
I welcome any feedback on this, thanks!
BTW, I tested these changes using mptest:
git://github.com/snitm/mptest.git
with the following permutations ('runtest' script tweaked before each
permutation):
echo N > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo N > /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo Y > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo Y > /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo Y > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo N > /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo N > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
echo Y > /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/use_blk_mq
