You just simply removed blk_pm_peek_request() from blk_peek_request(),
how does that work on blk-mq?
Also that may not work because SCSI quiesce may just happen between
request allocation and run queue, then nothing can be dispatched
to driver.

No, RPM_SUSPEND only means runtime suspend, you misunderstand it as
system suspend.
Actually the reported issue is during system suspend/resume, which can
happen without runtime PM, such as, runtime PM is disabled via sysfs.

As I explained, rpm_status represents runtime PM status, nothing to
do with system suspend/resume.
So RRF_PREEMPT can be dispatched to driver during system suspend.
