* block: Add API for urgent request handlingTatyana Brokhman2016-08-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add support in block & elevator layers for handling urgent requests. The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken by the scheduler. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write collision scenarios. Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request mechanism, this code path is never activated.

* block: Add support for reinsert a dispatched reqTatyana Brokhman2016-08-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for reinserting a dispatched request back to the scheduler's internal data structures. This capability is used by the device driver when it chooses to interrupt the current request transmission and execute another (more urgent) pending request. For example: interrupting long write in order to handle pending read. The device driver re-inserts the remaining write request back to the scheduler, to be rescheduled for transmission later on. Add API for verifying whether the current scheduler supports reinserting requests mechanism. If reinsert mechanism isn't supported by the scheduler, this code path will never be activated.
