Hello Jens, Multiple block drivers need the functionality to stop a request queue and to wait until all ongoing request_fn() / queue_rq() calls have finished without waiting until all outstanding requests have finished. Hence this patch series that introduces the blk_mq_quiesce_queue() and blk_mq_resume_queue() functions. The dm-mq, SRP and nvme patches in this patch series are three examples of where these functions are useful. These patches apply on top of the September 21 version of your for-4.9/block branch. The changes compared to the previous version of this patch series are: - Dropped the non-blk-mq changes from this patch series. - Added support for harware queues with BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING set. - Added a call stack to the description of the dm race fix patch. - Dropped the non-scsi-mq changes from the SRP patch. - Added a patch that introduces blk_mq_queue_stopped() in the dm driver. The individual patches in this series are: 0001-blk-mq-Introduce-blk_mq_queue_stopped.patch 0002-dm-Use-BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED-instead-of-QUEUE_FLAG_STOPPE.patch 0003-RFC-nvme-Use-BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED-instead-of-QUEUE_FLAG_.patch 0004-blk-mq-Introduce-blk_quiesce_queue-and-blk_resume_qu.patch 0005-dm-Fix-a-race-condition-related-to-stopping-and-star.patch 0006-SRP-transport-Port-srp_wait_for_queuecommand-to-scsi.patch 0007-RFC-nvme-Fix-a-race-condition.patch Thanks, Bart.
