Hi Bart

Thanks for your kindly response.

If that is true, what if aacraid driver uses block legacy instead of blk-mq ?
w/ blk-mq disabled, __scsi_queue_insert just requeue the request with blk_requeue_request.

__scsi_queue_insert
...
	if (q->mq_ops) {
		scsi_mq_requeue_cmd(cmd);
		return;
	}
	spin_lock_irqsave(q->queue_lock, flags);
	blk_requeue_request(q, cmd->request);
	kblockd_schedule_work(&device->requeue_work);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(q->queue_lock, flags);
...

no prep/unprep code there for block legacy code.

Thanks
Jianchao
