Add an rq private RQF_ELV flag, which tells the block layer that this request was initialized on a queue that has an IO scheduler attached. This allows for faster checking in the fast path, rather than having to deference rq->q later on. Elevator switching does full quiesce of the queue before detaching an IO scheduler, so it's safe to cache this in the request itself. 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.
