SCSI maintains its own driver private data hooked off of each SCSI request, and the pridate data won't be freed after scsi_queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. An upper layer driver (e.g. dm-rq) may need to retry these SCSI requests, before SCSI has fully dispatched them, due to a lower level SCSI driver's resource limitation identified in scsi_queue_rq(). Currently SCSI's per-request private data is leaked when the upper layer driver (dm-rq) frees and then retries these requests in response to BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE returns from scsi_queue_rq().
This usecase is so specialized that it doesn't warrant training an existing blk-mq interface (e.g. blk_mq_free_request) to allow SCSI to account for freeing its driver private data -- doing so would add an extra branch for handling a special case that all other consumers of SCSI (and blk-mq) won't ever need to worry about.
So the most pragmatic way forward is to delegate freeing SCSI driver private data to the upper layer driver (dm-rq). Do so by adding new .cleanup_rq callback and calling a new blk_mq_cleanup_rq() method from dm-rq. A following commit will implement the .cleanup_rq() hook in scsi_mq_ops.
