Several block drivers need to initialize the driver-private data
after having called blk_get_request() and before .prep_rq_fn() is
called, e.g. when submitting a REQ_OP_SCSI_* request. Avoid that
that initialization code has to be repeated after every
blk_get_request() call by adding a new callback function to struct
request_queue.

Can we keep this out of the fast path and only do it from the
blk_get_request / blk_mq_alloc_request path?  And while were at it
I think those two should be merged as far as the public interface
goes, that is we should also expose the flags argument for the
legacy path.

Hello Christoph,

For blk-mq I could move the .initialize_rq_fn() call from
blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() into blk_mq_sched_get_request(). I can't move it
higher up in the request allocation call chain because otherwise
blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() wouldn't call .initialize_rq_fn().

For blk-sq I'm not sure that the .initialize_rq_fn() call can be
moved because I'd like all blk_rq_init() callers to call
.initialize_rq_fn(), including ide_prep_sense().

Are you sure it would help to move the .initialize_rq_fn() calls?

Thanks,

Bart.
