Jens Axboe d666ba98f8 blk-mq: add mq_ops->commit_rqs()
blk-mq passes information to the hardware about any given request being
the last that we will issue in this sequence. The point is that hardware
can defer costly doorbell type writes to the last request. But if we run
into errors issuing a sequence of requests, we may never send the request
with bd->last == true set. For that case, we need a hook that tells the
hardware that nothing else is coming right now.

For failures returned by the drivers ->queue_rq() hook, the driver is
responsible for flushing pending requests, if it uses bd->last to
optimize that part. This works like before, no changes there.

README

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.
