Hello,

We got a problem with the lack of merges also when we tested on null_blk device 
in dom0 directly.
When we enabled multi queue block-layer we got no merges, even when we set the 
number of submission queues to 1.

If I don't miss anything, that could suggest the problem lays somewhere in the 
blk-mq layer itself?

Please take a look at the results below:

fio --name=test --ioengine=libaio --rw=read --numjobs=8 --iodepth=32 \
    --time_based=1 --runtime=30 --bs=4KB --filename=/dev/nullb0 \
