[dm-devel] [for-4.16 PATCH v2 1/5] block: establish request failover callback

[Mike Snitzer]

All requests allocated from a request_queue with this callback set can
failover their requests during completion.

This callback is expected to use the blk_steal_bios() interface to
transfer a request's bios back to an upper-layer bio-based
request_queue.

This will be used by both NVMe multipath and DM multipath.  Without it
DM multipath cannot get access to NVMe-specific error handling that NVMe
core provides in nvme_complete_rq().
