This patch simplifies the timeout handling by relying on the request reference counting to ensure the iterator is operating on an inflight and truly timed out request. Since the reference counting prevents the tag from being reallocated, the block layer no longer needs to prevent drivers from completing their requests while the timeout handler is operating on it: a driver completing a request is allowed to proceed to the next state without additional syncronization with the block layer. This also removes any need for generation sequence numbers since the request lifetime is prevented from being reallocated as a new sequence while timeout handling is operating on it. To enables this a refcount is added to struct request so that request users can be sure they're operating on the same request without it changing while they're processing it. The request's tag won't be released for reuse until both the timeout handler and the completion are done with it.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
