When I have some time to study Jens and shaohua's patch today. I find a
simpler way to resolved the re-enter issue on starved_list. Following
Jens' idea, we can just put the starved_list device into kblockd if it
come from __scsi_queue_insert().
It can resolve the re-enter issue and recover performance totally, and
need not a work_struct in every scsi_device. The logic/code also looks a
bit simpler.
What's your opinion of this?
