I think that percolating BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED up to the tag set would
allow newly created hctxs to simply inherit the shared state (in
blk_mq_init_hctx), and you won't need to freeze every queue in order to
guarantee that.

I was writing a patch to that effect. I've now stopped as I want to
make sure I'm not off in the weeds. :)

If that is where the delay is done, then yes, that should fix it and
be a trivial patch.

It's not quite as trivial as I had hoped. Jason, can you give the
attached patch a try? All I've done is boot tested it so far.

Thanks!
Jeff

I tested with your patch which avoids looping all queues in set by checking flag BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED.
it works!
