RE: [PATCH 1/3] block: Requeue req as head if driver touched it

Jens could you consider this patch?
As far as I can see Barts series has not been merged in any form that would fix my problem and even if it does, requeuing RQF_DONTPREP as head seems on par at worst and a performance improvement at best.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] block: Requeue req as head if driver touched it

In case the driver set RQF_DONTPREP flag, requeue the request as head as it is likely that the backing storage already had a request to an adjacent region, so getting the requeued request out as soon as possible may give us some performance benefit.
