blk-mq: add a 'list' parameter to ->queue_rq()
Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder for deferred issue until the last request has been sent. Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path, encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure. This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list, then they will just queue requests individually like before. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
