Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/6] blk-mq: Add a flag for reserved requests series


John,

> In [0] I included "blk-mq: Add a flag for reserved requests" to
> identify if a request is 'reserved' for special handling. Doing this
> is easier than passing a 'reserved' arg to the blk_mq_ops
> callbacks. Indeed, only 1x timeout implementation or blk-mq iter
> function actually uses the 'reserved' arg (or 3x if you count SCSI
> core and FNIC SCSI driver). So this series drops the 'reserved' arg
> for these timeout and iter functions.  Christoph suggested that I try
> to upstream now.
