Currently we look for waker only if current queue has no requests. This makes sense for bfq queues with a single process however for shared queues when there is a larger number of processes the condition that queue has no requests is difficult to meet because often at least one process has some request in flight although all the others are waiting for the waker to do the work and this harms throughput. Relax the "no queued request for bfq queue" condition to "the current task has no queued requests yet". For this, we also need to start tracking number of requests in flight for each task. This patch (together with the following one) restores the performance for dbench with 128 clients that regressed with commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
