[PATCH -next RFC v3 6/8] blk-mq: force tag preemption for split bios

From: Yu Kuai
Date: Fri Apr 15 2022 - 05:57:14 EST


For HDD, sequential io is much faster than random io, thus it's better
to issue split io continuously. However, this is broken when tag preemption
is disabled, because wakers can only get one tag each time.

Thus tag preemption should be enabled for split bios, at least for HDD,
specifically the first bio won't preempt tag, and following split bios
will preempt tag.
