[PATCH v2] blk-mq: Remove 'running from the wrong CPU' warning

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Mon Nov 30 2020 - 05:20:06 EST


It's guaranteed that no request is in flight when a hctx is going
offline. This warning is only triggered when the wq's CPU is hot
plugged and the blk-mq is not synced up yet.

As this state is temporary and the request is still processed
correctly, better remove the warning as this is the fast path.

v2:
- remove the warning as suggested by Ming
v1:
- initial version
