Also underlying queue change(either limits or flag) won't be propagated to DM/MD automatically. Strictly speaking it doesn't matter if all underlying queues are capable of supporting polling at the exact time of 'write sysfs/poll', cause any of them may change in future. So why not start with the simplest approach(always capable of polling) which does meet normal bio based polling requirement? Thanks, Ming
