Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] nvme-pci: use blk_mq_max_nr_hw_queues() to calculate
 io queues

Hi Ming,

Having no [PATCH 1/2] blk-mq: add blk_mq_max_nr_hw_queues() in inbox.
So I reply here.

At first glance, I think that  the cpu hot plug callback hook should
be the remedy for the newly introduced blk_mq_max_nr_hw_queues(),
although it is more complicated.

Consider the scene where nr_cpus=4, which can speed up the dumping
process, the blk_mq_max_nr_hw_queues() can not utilize the other three
cpus.


Thanks,

Pingfan
