Commit 6d247d7f71d1 ("block: allow specifying size for extra command data") added support for .cmd_size to blk-sq. Due to that patch the blk_mq_rq_{to,from}_pdu() functions are also useful for single-queue block drivers. Hence remove "_mq" from the name of these functions. This patch does not change any functionality. Most of this patch has been generated by running the following shell command:I don't really see the point of this as it's primarily a blk-mq API and we still hope to get rid of the old code. But I'm not necessarily against it either.Hello Christoph, I would like to introduce calls to these functions in several scsi-sq functions. If I would do that without renaming these functions then anyone who reads the code of these functions and sees calls to functions with a blk_mq_ prefix could get really confused when trying to figure out whether these functions are used by scsi-sq, scsi-mq or perhaps both.
But that should go away, eventually. -- Jens Axboe
