Sorry but I disagree. If SCHED_RESTART is set that causes the blk-mq core to
reexamine the software queues and the hctx dispatch list but not the requeue
list. If a block driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then requests end up on the
requeue list. Hence the following code in scsi_end_request():

        if (scsi_target(sdev)->single_lun || 
!list_empty(&sdev->host->starved_list))
                kblockd_schedule_work(&sdev->requeue_work);
        else
                blk_mq_run_hw_queues(q, true);

Bart.
