The zloop driver advertises REQ_NOWAIT support through BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT (enabled by default for all blk-mq devices), and honors the nowait behavior throughout zloop_queue_rq(). However, actual I/O to the backing file is performed in a workqueue, where blocking is allowed. To avoid imposing unnecessary non-blocking constraints in this blocking context, clear the REQ_NOWAIT flag before processing the request in the workqueue context.

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 reStructuredText 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.
