Subject: [PATCH 4/4] blk-mq: improve readability of blk_mq_alloc_request()

Add a helper blk_mq_alloc_request_nocache() to alloc request without
cache. This makes blk_mq_alloc_request() more readable.

The name is a bit odd, but I can't think off a better one.

And this now has superflous indenation. Overall, while the separate
helper looks marginally nicer, I'm not really sure it is worth the
churn.

existing code is fine here than adding this indentation which
is not worth a churn...

I'll drop the patch if you think it is not worth the churn. But I
started doing this because of the following goto statement:

rq = blk_mq_alloc_cached_request(q, opf, flags);
if (!rq) {
[...]
ret = blk_queue_enter(q, flags);
[...]
rq = __blk_mq_alloc_requests(&data);
if (!rq)
goto out_queue_exit;
}
[...]
out_queue_exit:
blk_queue_exit(q);
return ERR_PTR(-EWOULDBLOCK);

Queue entering has been moved into the fallback path, left queue exiting
outside. Should I just eliminate the goto statement and move the error
handling into the fallback path too? Like:

rq = blk_mq_alloc_cached_request(q, opf, flags);
if (!rq) {
[...]
ret = blk_queue_enter(q, flags);
[...]
rq = __blk_mq_alloc_requests(&data);
if (!rq) {
blk_queue_exit(q);
return ERR_PTR(-EWOULDBLOCK);
}
}

Thanks!

Please just drop it, I don't think it's an improvement.

Ok, then I'll just resend patch 2 without the silly goto return NULL and
patch 3.

Thanks!
