Hi Mike,

So I gave your patches a go (dm-4.6) but I still don't see the
improvement you reported (while I do see a minor improvement).

null_blk queue_mode=2 submit_queues=24
dm_mod blk_mq_nr_hw_queues=24 blk_mq_queue_depth=4096 use_blk_mq=Y

I see 620K IOPs on dm_mq vs. 1750K IOPs on raw nullb0.

Is there something I'm missing?
