One request could be inserted more than one times, such as requeue,
however __blk_mq_alloc_request() is just run once, so is it fine to
call ->prepare_request more than one time for same request?
Or I am wondering why not call ->prepare_request when the following
check is true?
if (e && e->type->ops.prepare_request && !op_is_flush(data->cmd_flags) &&
!blk_op_is_passthrough(data->cmd_flags))
e->type->ops.prepare_request()
Thanks,
Ming
