Yes.
scsi layer use both of them.

I'm not sure about this.
Since the request is dispatched, it should hold and zone write lock.
And also mq-deadline doesn't have a .requeue_request, zone write lock
wouldn't be released during requeue.
IMO, this requeue action is similar with what blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list does.
The latter one also issues the request to underlying driver and requeue rqs
on dispatch_list if get BLK_STS_SOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_SOURCE.
And in addition, RQF_STARTED is set by io scheduler .dispatch_request and
it could be stop merging as RQF_NOMERGE_FLAGS contains it.
Thanks
Jianchao
