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 Restructured Text 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.

The filesystem IO path can take advantage of allocating batches of requests, if the underlying submitter tells the block layer about it through the blk_plug. For passthrough IO, the exported API is the blk_mq_alloc_request() helper, and that one does not allow for request caching. Wire up request caching for blk_mq_alloc_request(), which is generally done without having a bio available upfront. Tested-by:Anuj Gupta <anuj20.g@samsung.com> Reviewed-by:
