- struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx = blk_mq_map_queue(q, 0, ctx); + struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *hctx = blk_mq_map_queue(q, REQ_OP_WRITE, ctx);The change itself doesn't make a difference, since both results in choosing HCTX_TYPE_DEFAULT, but passing REQ_OP_WRITE is a bit misleading.Well, the argument is an operationm so we better pass in a correct operation (at some point we should look into a __bitwise annotation or similar to make it clean). And as 0 is REQ_OP_READ, we will end up with the HCTX_TYPE_READ hctx IFF someone configures read queues and uses an sq only schedule. Which is a completely stupid but possible setup.
Hi Christoph, I looked into adding a __bitwise annotation for request flags by introducing a new type that is called blk_mq_opf_t. Introducing such a type without modifying a lot of code seems difficult to me. This is what I ran into: * If the type of the operation type constants (REQ_OP_READ etc.) is modified into blk_mq_opf_t then their type changes from 'enum req_opf' into type blk_mq_opf_t and sparse complains when passing e.g. REQ_OP_READ to a function that accepts an argument with type enum req_opf. * If the type of the operation type constants is not modified then sparse complains about bitwise or-ing the operation type and a request flag, e.g. REQ_OP_WRITE | REQ_FUA. I'm not sure how to solve this other than by modifying the functions that accept an 'opf' argument into accepting an additional argument (enum req_opf op + blk_mq_opf_t op_flags). Thanks, Bart.
