[PATCH 5.10 20/25] block: dont ignore REQ_NOWAIT for direct IO

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 15 2021 - 11:12:46 EST


From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f8b78caf21d5bc3fcfc40c18898f9d52ed1451a5 ]

If IOCB_NOWAIT is set on submission, then that needs to get propagated to
REQ_NOWAIT on the block side. Otherwise we completely lose this
information, and any issuer of IOCB_NOWAIT IO will potentially end up
blocking on eg request allocation on the storage side.
