Hello Jens,

Are there other block drivers that can call blk_mq_start_hw_queues() from
interrupt context? I'm currently working on converting the skd driver
(drivers/block/skd_main.c) from a single queue block driver into a scsi-mq
driver. The skd driver calls blk_start_queue() from interrupt context. As we
know it is not safe to call blk_mq_start_hw_queues() from interrupt context.
Can you recommend me how I should proceed: should I implement a solution in
the skd driver or should perhaps the blk-mq core be modified?

Thanks,

Bart.
