I couldn't understand commit log, feel free to ignore following
if others are okay with it :-

req_op() returns the REQ_OP_XXX with req->cmd_flags & REQ_OP_MASKS.

blk_op_is_passthrugh() masks op with REQ_OP_MASKS to compare
REQ_OP_XXX with passthrough requests REQ_OP_IN/REQ_OP_OUT.
 245
 246 static inline bool blk_op_is_passthrough(blk_opf_t op)
 247 {
 248         op &= REQ_OP_MASK;
 249         return op == REQ_OP_DRV_IN || op == REQ_OP_DRV_OUT;
 250 }
 251

Passing req_op(rq) argument to blk_op_is_passthru() results in double
masking of request flags first in req_op() and again in
blk_op_is_passthrough().

Avoid that by passing req->cmd_flags instead of req_op(req) as
an argument to blk_op_is_passthrough() when it is called from
blk_rq_is_passthruough().


irrespective of above suggestion, looks good.
