The approach of this patch series looks wrong to me and patch 5/5 is an ugly
hack in my opinion. That's why I asked you to drop the entire patch series and
to test whether inserting a queue run call into the dm-mpath end_io callback
yields a similar performance improvement to the patches you posted. Please do
not expect me to spend more time on this patch series if you do not come up
with measurement results for the proposed alternative.
