[PATCH 1/2] blk-mq: bypass IO scheduler's limit_depth for passthrough request

From: Lin Feng
Date: Wed Apr 14 2021 - 23:47:55 EST


Commit 01e99aeca39796003 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx->dispatch directly") gives high priority to passthrough requests and
bypass underlying IO scheduler. But as we allocate tag for such request it
still runs io-scheduler's callback limit_depth, while we really want is to
give full sbitmap-depth capabity to such request for acquiring available
tag.
blktrace shows PC requests(dmraid -s -c -i) hit bfq's limit_depth:
8,0 2 0 0.000000000 39952 1,0 m N bfq [bfq_limit_depth] wr_busy 0 sync 0 depth 8
8,0 2 1 0.000008134 39952 D R 4 [dmraid]
8,0 2 2 0.000021538 24 C R [0]
8,0 2 0 0.000035442 39952 1,0 m N bfq [bfq_limit_depth] wr_busy 0 sync 0 depth 8
8,0 2 3 0.000038813 39952 D R 24 [dmraid]
8,0 2 4 0.000044356 24 C R [0]

This patch introduce a new wrapper to make code not that ugly.
