Hello Tejun,

The name queue_rq_srcu was chosen to reflect the original use of that structure,
namely to protect .queue_rq() calls. Your patch series broadens the use of that
srcu structure so I would appreciate it if it would be renamed, e.g. into "srcu".
See also commit 6a83e74d214a ("blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()").

Thanks,

Bart.
