FWIW, a quick pass on runtime testing works fine. As expected, it's more efficient than what's currently in the kernel, testing with both null_blk (1 and nr_cpus worth of queues), and nvme as well. A huge win is that we shrink the request size from 360 bytes to 312, and I did a small followup patch that brings that to 304. That's a 15% reduction, massive. -- Jens Axboe
