[PATCH v4 1/4] block: Add iocontext priority to request

[Adam Manzanares]

Patch adds an association between iocontext ioprio and the ioprio of a
request. This value is set in blk_rq_set_prio which takes the request and
the ioc as arguments. If the ioc is valid in blk_rq_set_prio then the
iopriority of the request is set as the iopriority of the ioc. In
init_request_from_bio a check is made to see if the ioprio of the bio is
valid and if so then the request prio comes from the bio.
