[PATCH 07/13] blk-mq: remove error count and unncessary flush in blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly

From: Kemeng Shi
Date: Thu Dec 22 2022 - 23:54:26 EST


blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly try to send a list requests belong to the
same hctx to driver. Normally, we will send flush along with last request
in the list by set last parameter in blk_mq_request_issue_directly.
Extra flush is needed for two cases:
1. We stop sending at middle of list and normal flush along with last
request will not be sent.
2. Error happens at sending last request and normal flush may be lost.

We will only break list walk if we get BLK_STS_RESOURCE or
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE which will be stored in ret. So for case 1, we can
simply check ret and send a extra flush if ret is not BLK_STS_OK.
For case 2, the error of last request in the list is also stored in ret, we
can simply check ret and send a extra flush if ret is not BLK_STS_OK too.

Then error count is not needed and error in middle of list will not trigger
unnecessary extra flush anymore.
