Can you provide the following blk-mq debugfs log?

(cd /sys/kernel/debug/block/dm-N && find . -type f -exec grep -aH . {} \;)

(cd /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdN && find . -type f -exec grep -aH . {} \;)

And it is enough to just collect log from one dm-mpath & one underlying iscsi disk,
so we can understand basic blk-mq setting, such as nr_hw_queues, queue depths, ...



Thanks,
Ming
