Jens Axboe db5bcf87bb null_blk: add blocking mode
This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk
will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always
needs to block in its ->queue_rq() function.  The intent is to help find
regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist.

If null_blk is loaded with submit_queues > 1 and blocking=1, this
shows the regression recently fixed by bf4907c05e.

README

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.
