This doesn't seem safe - note that between submit_bio() and blk_poll(), no locks are held - so the device mapper device may be reconfigured arbitrarily. When you call blk_poll() with a pointer returned by submit_bio(), the pointer may point to a stale address.

Indeed maybe it's not a good idea to directly return a 'struct blk_mq_hw_ctx *' pointer as the returned cookie. Currently I have no idea to fix it, orz... The blk_get_queue()/blk_put_queue() tricks may not work in this case. Because the returned cookie may not be used at all. Before calling blk_poll(), the polling routine may find that the corresponding IO has already completed, and thus won't call blk_poll(), in which case we have no place to put the refcount. But I really don't want to drop this optimization, since this optimization is quite intuitive when dm device maps to a lot of underlying devices. Though this optimization doesn't actually achieve reasonable performance gain in my test, maybe because there are at most seven nvme devices in my test machine. Any thoughts?

The pointer to a queue and the polling cookie is passed only inside device mapper code, it never leaves it. I'll send you my patches - try them and tell me how does it perform compared to your patchset. Mikulas

Offer one fastpath of bio-based polling when bio submitted to dm device is not split. In this case, there will be only one bio submitted to only one polling hw queue of one underlying mq device, and thus we don't need to track all split bios or iterate through all polling hw queues. The pointer to the polling hw queue the bio submitted to is returned here as the returned cookie. In this case, the polling routine will call mq_ops->poll() directly with the hw queue converted from the input cookie. If the original bio submitted to dm device is split to multiple bios and thus submitted to multiple polling hw queues, the bio submission routine will return BLK_QC_T_BIO_MULTI, while the polling routine will fall back to iterating all hw queues (in polling mode) of all underlying mq devices.
