02_scsi_REQ_SPECIAL_semantic_scsi_queue_insert.patch
scsi_queue_insert() used to use blk_insert_request() for
requeueing requests. This behavior depends on the unobvious
behavior of blk_insert_request() setting REQ_SPECIAL and
REQ_SOFTBARRIER when requeueing. This patch makes
scsi_queue_insert() use blk_requeue_request() and explicitly
set REQ_SOFTBARRIER. As REQ_SPECIAL now means special
requests, the flag is not set on requeue.
Note that scsi_queue_insert() now calls scsi_run_queue()
itself, and the prototype of the function is added right above
scsi_queue_insert(). This is temporary, as later requeue path
consolidation patchset removes scsi_queue_insert(). By adding
temporary prototype, we can do away with unnecessary changes.
