Is this something that can only happen if q->mq_ops->queue_rq(hctx, &bd)
returns another value than BLK_STS_OK, BLK_STS_RESOURCE and
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE? If so, please add a comment in the source code
that explains this.

Is this perhaps a bug fix for 0bca799b9280 ("blk-mq: order getting
budget and driver tag")? If so, please mention this and add Cc tags for
the people who were Cc-ed on that patch.

Thanks,

Bart.
