Sorry Mike but what you wrote above is not only very gross but it is also
wrong. What I did in my e-mail is to identify technical problems in Ming's
work. Additionally, it seems like you forgot that recently I helped Ming?
My patch "blk-mq: Avoid that blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() introduces
unintended delays" has been queued by Jens for kernel v4.16 and solves a
problem that Ming has been working on for two months but that he was
unable to come up with a proper fix for. Additionally, there is something
that you have to explain: the patch "dm mpath: don't call
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() in case of BLK_STS_RESOURCE" that you have
queued in your tree is wrong and introduces a regression
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/snitzer/linux.git/commit/?h=dm-4.16&id=316a795ad388e0c3ca613454851a28079d917a92).
I'm surprised that you have not yet reverted that patch? BTW, in case you
would not yet have noticed my patch "blk-mq: Avoid that
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() introduces unintended delays" eliminates the
delay you referred to in the description of that patch.

In case the above would not yet have addressed the technical issue(s) you
are facing, I would really appreciate it if you would stop using insults and
if you could explain what technical problems you are facing. Isn't that what
the Linux kernel is about, namely about collaboration between technical
people from different organizations? Isn't that what made the Linux kernel
great?

Bart.
