From e167dfb53cb85fde7b15f644e9dbef7ba31896b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 11:18:26 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: add BLK_MQ_F_DEFER_ISSUE support flag Drivers can now tell blk-mq if they take advantage of the deferred issue through 'last' or not. If they do, don't do queue-direct for sync IO. This is a preparation patch for the nvme conversion.
