Yes, but why does scsi device have per-request_queue depth? Anyway this single dispatch list won't hurt devices which doesn't have per-request_queue depth. For scsi device which has q->queue_depth, if one hctx is stuck, all hctxs are stuck actually, the single dispatch list just fits this kind of use case, doesn't it? -- Ming
