[PATCH] blk-mq: don't dispatch request in blk_mq_request_direct_issue if queue is busy

From: Ming Lei
Date: Wed Jan 17 2018 - 23:07:29 EST


If we run into blk_mq_request_direct_issue(), when queue is busy, we
don't want to dispatch this request into hctx->dispatch_list, and
what we need to do is to return the queue busy info to caller, so
that caller can deal with it well.

Fixes: 396eaf21ee ("blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback")
