We currently check REQ_F_POLLED before arming async poll for a notification to retry. If it's set, then we don't allow poll and will punt to io-wq instead. This is done to prevent a situation where a buggy driver will repeatedly return that there's space/data available yet we get -EAGAIN. However, if we already transferred data, then it should be safe to rely on poll again. Gate the check on whether or not REQ_F_PARTIAL_IO is also set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
