Currently SRCU is used if BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING set, otherwise RCU is used.

dispatch:
#define __blk_mq_run_dispatch_ops(q, check_sleep, dispatch_ops) \
do {                                                            \
         if ((q)->tag_set->flags & BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING) {          \
                 int srcu_idx;                                   \
                                                                 \
                 might_sleep_if(check_sleep);                    \
                 srcu_idx = srcu_read_lock((q)->tag_set->srcu);  \
                 (dispatch_ops);                                 \
                 srcu_read_unlock((q)->tag_set->srcu, srcu_idx); \
         } else {                                                \
                 rcu_read_lock();                                \
                 (dispatch_ops);                                 \
                 rcu_read_unlock();                              \
         }                                                       \
} while (0)

quiesce:
void blk_mq_wait_quiesce_done(struct blk_mq_tag_set *set)
{
         if (set->flags & BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING)
                 synchronize_srcu(set->srcu);
         else
                 synchronize_rcu();
}

Thanks,
Kuai
