Sorry! I replied to your comment (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/15/1492),
but you didn't reply on that. I thought you agreed because you didn't send
any more comments.

We are also reviewing the code that you submitted before.
It seems to be a performance improvement as it sends a map request directly.

It is interesting that there is actually a performance improvement. 
Could you share the test environment, please? However, I think stability is
important to HPB driver. We have tested our method with the real products and
the HPB 1.0 driver is based on that.
After this patch, your approach can be done as an incremental patch? I would
like to test the patch that you submitted and verify it.

There was Bart's comment that it was not good add an arbitrary timeout value
to the request. (please refer to: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/11/1043)
When no timer is added to the request, the SD timout will be set as default
timeout at the block layer.

Thanks,
