Subject: [PATCH 2/3] blk-mq: Always complete remote completions requests in softirq
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 21:10:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210123201027.3262800-3-bigeasy@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210123201027.3262800-1-bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Controllers with multiple queues have their IRQ-handelers pinned to a
CPU. The core shouldn't need to complete the request on a remote CPU.

Remove this case and always raise the softirq to complete the request.
