The name BLK_MQ_F_HOST_TAGS suggests that tags are shared across a SCSI
host. That is misleading since this flag means that tags are shared
across hardware queues. Additionally, the "host" term is a term that
comes from the SCSI world and this patch is a block layer patch. That
makes me wonder whether another name should be used to reflect that all
hardware queues share the same tag set? How about renaming
BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED into BLK_MQ_F_TAG_QUEUE_SHARED and renaming
BLK_MQ_F_HOST_TAGS into BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED?
Bart.
