Yes.

Yes. So the rule is:
1) did not queue everything initially scheduled to queue
OR
2) the last attempt to queue a request failed
I think we need to find a way to clearly document that and that
make all callers match it.
For most this becomes a
if (ret || !list_empty(list))
or even just
if (ret)
as an error is often the only way to break out of the submission
loop.
I wonder if we need to split the queued clearing from blk_mq_commit_rqs
and just clear it in the existing callers, so that we can use that
helpers for all commits, nicely hiding the ->commit_rqs presence
check, and then move that call to where it is needed directly. Something
like this untested patch (which needs to be split up), which also
makes sure we trace these calls consistently:
