A comment that explains where this value comes from would be welcome.

Why BLK_MQ_REQ_PREEMPT? Since this code is only executed while medium access
commands are processed and since none of these commands have the PREEMPT flag
set I think that the PREEMPT flag should be left out. Otherwise there probably
will be weird interactions with runtime suspended devices.

Is it acceptable that the above blk_get_request() call blocks if a UFS device
has been runtime suspended? If not, consider using the flag BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT
instead.

If the blk_get_request() would be modified such that it doesn't wait, this
call may have to be modified too (GFP_NOWAIT?).

When splitting a line, please put comparison operators at the end of the line
instead of at the start, e.g. as follows:

if (atomic_read(&lru_info->active_cnt) ==
lru_info->max_lru_active_cnt) {

Please use PAGE_ALIGN() to align to the next page boundary.

Thanks,

Bart.
