ioc_lookup_icq() is used by bfq to lookup bfqq from IO path, the helper
have to be protected by queue_lock, which is too heavy. Hence add a new
helper that is lookless, this is safe because both request_queue and ioc
can be pinged by IO that is still issuing.

I do not think this is necessary.
This is used to indicate this is from IO issue path, I can remove it.

Patch 2 calls this function with the rcu_read_lock() held. Why not move that rcu
read lock here inside this function ? That is how ioc_lookup_icq() was doing
things, with code that is more compact than this.

And since ioc_lookup_icq() was already using RCU, it seems that the only change
you need is to remove the "lockdep_assert_held(&q->queue_lock);" from that
function to endup with the same above functionality. So why all the churn ?
Yes, I agree, just dropping the assert and updating callers should be fine.
Yes, this is much simpler.
Another question is: is it safe to call radix_tree_lookup() without any lock
held ? What if this races with a radix tree insertion ? (I may be wrong here as
I am not familiar with that code).
Yes, radix_tree_lookup() is fine to call with just rcu protection.

The insertion is protected by queue_lock, and look up is fine with rcu protection.

Thanks,
Kuai
