Hello Shaohua,

My understanding of this work is that a significant part of it will have 
to be reverted once blk-mq supports I/O scheduling, e.g. the code for 
detecting whether the I/O submitter is idle. Shouldn't this kind of 
infrastructure be added after support has been added in blk-mq for I/O 
scheduling?

Thanks,

Bart.
