Subject: [PATCHv2] blk-mq: reinsert cached request to the list
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 08:35:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526153531.2365935-1-kbusch@meta.com> (raw)
From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>
A previous commit removed an optimization out of caution for a scenario
that turns out not to be real: all the "queue_exit" goto's are safe to
reinsert the request into the cached_rq's plug list as they are either
from a non-blocking path, or a successful merge that already holds the
queue reference. This optimization is most needed for small sequential
workloads that successfully merge into larger requests.
Fixes: dc278e9bf2b9 ("blk-mq: pop cached request if it is usable")

v1->v2:
Actually use the correct rq_list function to return the rq to the
list.
