*
* With scsi-mq enabled, there are a fixed number of preallocated
* requests equal in number to shost->can_queue. If all of the
* preallocated requests are already in use, then using GFP_ATOMIC with
* blk_get_request() will return -EWOULDBLOCK, whereas using GFP_KERNEL
* will cause blk_get_request() to sleep until an active command
* completes, freeing up a request. Neither option is ideal, but
* GFP_KERNEL is the better choice to prevent userspace from getting an
* unexpected EWOULDBLOCK.

* With scsi-mq disabled, blk_get_request() with GFP_KERNEL usually
* does not sleep except under memory pressure.
* preallocated requests are already in use, then blk_get_request()
* will sleep until an active command completes, freeing up a request.
* Although waiting in an asynchronous interface is less than ideal, we
* do not want to use BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT here because userspace might
* not expect an EWOULDBLOCK from this condition.
