Hi,
As recent discussion, especially suggested by Christoph, this patchset implements per-distpatch_queue flush machinery, so that:
- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can cover flush request too, then the ugly and buggy copying way of initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed
- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue
About 70% throughput improvement is observed in sync write/randwrite over multi dispatch-queue virtio-blk, see details in commit log of patch 8/8.
This patchset can be pulled from below tree too:
