[dm-devel] [PATCH V5 5/7] blk-mq-sched: move actual dispatching into one helper

[Christoph Hellwig]

Can you move this to the beginning of your series, just after
the other edits to blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests?

> +static void blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(struct request_queue *q,
> +				     struct elevator_queue *e,
> +				     struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx)

No need to pass anything but the hctx here, the other two can
be trivially derived from it.

how about shortening this to:

	struct request *rq = e->type->ops.mq.dispatch_request(hctx);

Please use this new helper to simplify the logic. E.g.:

	if (!list_empty(&rq_list)) {
		blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx(hctx);
		if (blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(q, &rq_list) && has_sched_dispatch)
			blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(hctx);
	} else if (has_sched_dispatch) {
		blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(hctx);
	} else {
		blk_mq_flush_busy_ctxs(hctx, &rq_list);
		blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(q, &rq_list);
	}
