    dm: optimize dm_mq_queue_rq to _not_ use kthread if using pure blk-mq · 02233342
    Mike Snitzer authored
    dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
    sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
    and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request().  In the future the bioset
    allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
    completions of bios in a cloned request).
    
    Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn
    device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set.  The kthread
    will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style
    request_fn device(s).
