Now that the normal passthrough end_io path doesn't need the request anymore, we can kill the explicit blk_mq_free_request() and just pass back RQ_END_IO_FREE instead. This enables the batched completion from freeing batches of requests at the time. This brings passthrough IO performance at least on par with bdev based O_DIRECT with io_uring. With this and batche allocations, peak performance goes from 110M IOPS to 122M IOPS. For IRQ based, passthrough is now also about 10% faster than previously, going from ~61M to ~67M IOPS.

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.
