Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.

In case of BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING, per-hctx srcu is used to protect dispatch critical area. However, this srcu instance stays at the end of hctx, and it often takes standalone cacheline, often cold. Inside srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), WRITE is always done on the indirect percpu variable which is allocated from heap instead of being embedded, srcu->srcu_idx is read only in srcu_read_lock(). It doesn't matter if srcu structure stays in hctx or request queue. So switch to per-request-queue srcu for protecting dispatch, and this way simplifies quiesce a lot, not mention quiesce is always done on the request queue wide.
