You are right.
I will not mess with reusing __blk_mq_alloc_requests() in the next version.

I get what you mean: always initialize the two time stamps after blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(),
so we know whether the time stamps are needed in blk_mq_rq_time_init().
It seems better and clearer indeed, I will try to change as you suggest.

We need to pass "u64 alloc_time_ns" here, which includes depth and tag waits time by definition.
So:
1. for non-batched request that need alloc_time_ns: passed alloc_time_ns != 0
2. for batched request that need alloc_time_ns: passed alloc_time_ns == 0, will be set to start_time_ns
I have just updated the patch:

Thanks!
