Instead of checking MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH, MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH and the no_flush flag to decide whether or not to push back a request (or bio) if there are no paths available, only clear MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH in queue_if_no_path() if no_flush has not been set. The result is that only a single bit has to be tested in the hot path to decide whether or not a request must be pushed back and also that m->lock does not have to be taken in the hot path.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
