[PATCH 0/2] Allow drivers to tap into tags initialization

From: Matias Bjorling
Date: Mon Oct 28 2013 - 06:00:48 EST


Patches based upon Axboe's blk-mq/core branch
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block.git

These two patches enable a driver to control if tags are initialized by blk-mq
or itself. This allows a driver to map multiple struct blk_mq_tags to multiple
hardware and share tags.

This is for example used by the NVMe, that has a limited number of queues,
shared by multiple request queues.

v1->v2
* Changed blk_mq_init_tags_shared to blk_mq_tags_get.
* Moved from EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to EXPORT_SYMBOL
* Moved to using a flag for defining when driver handles tags initialization.

Matias Bjorling (2):
blk-mq: allow request queues to share tags map
blk-mq: add maps_tags fn and add usage
