[PATCH 02/26] block: add REQ_HIPRI_ASYNC

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Date: 2018-12-13 17:56:56
Also in: linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

For the upcoming async polled IO, we can't sleep allocating requests.
If we do, then we introduce a deadlock where the submitter already
has async polled IO in-flight, but can't wait for them to complete
since polled requests must be active found and reaped.
