[PATCH] block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq

From: Jan Kara
Date: Tue Dec 17 2013 - 17:47:41 EST


Abusing rq->csd.list for a list of requests to complete is rather ugly.
We use rq->queuelist instead which is much cleaner. It is safe because
queuelist is used by the block layer only for requests waiting to be
submitted to a device. Thus it is unused when irq reports the request IO
is finished.
