Tejun Heo 358f70da49 blk-mq: make blk_abort_request() trigger timeout path
With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number
and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one
which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.

There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
path.  This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.

This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.

Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
even when the caller owns the request.  AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
completely sure.  It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a
look.

v2: - Add comment explaining the lack of synchronization around
      ->deadline update as requested by Bart.

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.
