blk-mq: don't allocate driver tag upfront for flush rq
The idea behind it is simple: 1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq, otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags isn't necessary at all. 2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling ->queue_rq(). One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that in legacy path. Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag. This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list for avoiding I/O deadlock. Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
