We tried quick change in mpt3sas driver using blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter and
it returns/callback for valid requests (no stale entries are returned).
Expected.
Above two APIs are only for blk-mq.  What about non-mq case ? Driver
should use scsi_host_find_tag for non-mq and blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter for
blk-mq case ?
I don't see that will be good interface. Also, blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter API
does not provide control if driver wants to quit in-between or do some
retry logic etc.

Why can't we add single API which provides the correct output.

scsi_host_find_tag () API works well in non-mq case because,
blk_queue_end_tag() set bqt->tag_index[tag] = NULL;.
We are missing similar reset upon request completion in blk-mq case. This
patch has similar approach as non-mq and there is no race condition I can
foresee.

BTW - My original patch is half fix. We also need below changes -
