Bart Van Assche 7083abbbfc dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop
If blk_get_request() fails, check whether the failure is due to a path
being removed.  If that is the case, fail the path by triggering a call
to fail_path().  This avoids that the following scenario can be
encountered while removing paths:
* CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%.
* Removing the DM device becomes impossible.

Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK,
and the queue is not dying, because in these cases immediate requeuing
is inappropriate.

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.
