Hi all,
with blk-mq stabilizing in mainline and Jens using mtip32xx as tje major
example drivers in the past is there any progress on getting the
conversion finished and merged?

We are working on few changes in mtip32xx. After that, we will get to
blk-mq merge.

I'll pick up the pieces as soon as I get back and can test again. The
basic conversion is easy enough, I'll just dust that off. On top of that
I started splitting the issue groups up, since it actually gets you a
good step further than just the basic conversion.
The only problem area I ran into was the special case of the unaligned
writes.

If you have a public branch for the latter, send it our way. We can
help with the SRSI testing.

Yup, it's a painful limitation. If you need any p420m hardware, let me
know.

Thanks, I'll get it setup next week.

Sure, a card for testing is always useful.
