Mike Snitzer ac514ffc96 dm mpath: delay the retry of a request if the target responded as busy
Add DM_ENDIO_DELAY_REQUEUE to allow request-based multipath's
multipath_end_io() to instruct dm-rq.c:dm_done() to delay a requeue.
This is beneficial to do if BLK_STS_RESOURCE is returned from the target
(because target is busy).

Relative to blk-mq: kick the hw queues via blk_mq_requeue_work(),
indirectly from dm-rq.c:__dm_mq_kick_requeue_list(), after a delay.

For old .request_fn: use blk_delay_queue().

bio-based multipath doesn't have feature parity with request-based for
retryable error requeues; that is something that'll need fixing in the
future.

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.
