Bart Van Assche ca5beb76c3 dm mpath: micro-optimize the hot path relative to MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH
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.
