The mentioned comit is v8.2.0-812-gd3f6f294ae, - ie, past 8.2. Is this new change still relevant for stable? Thanks, /mjt

Sorry again. :/ This patch is a clean-up patch that won’t apply to 8.2. Now, 8.2 does have basically the same logic as described in the patch message (d3f6f294aea restored it after it was broken), so a similar patch could be made for it (removing the event_notifier_set() from virtio_blk_data_plane_start()), but whether we kick the virtqueues once or twice on start-up probably won’t make a difference, certainly not in terms of correctness.

Ok, excellent, this makes good sense now. I'm not including this one in stable-8.2 :) Thank you very much for the excellent work and the clarification! /mjt

Commit d3f6f294aeadd5f88caf0155e4360808c95b3146 ("virtio-blk: always set ioeventfd during startup") has made virtio_blk_start_ioeventfd() always kick the virtqueue (set the ioeventfd), regardless of whether the BB is drained. That is no longer necessary, because attaching the host notifier will now set the ioeventfd, too; this happens either immediately right here in virtio_blk_start_ioeventfd(), or later when the drain ends, in virtio_blk_ioeventfd_attach(). With event_notifier_set() removed, the code becomes the same as the one in virtio_blk_ioeventfd_attach(), so we can reuse that function.
