- * blk_attempt_remerge - attempt to remerge active head with next request
- * @q: The &request_queue_t belonging to the device
- * @rq: The head request (usually)
- *
- * Description:
- * For head-active devices, the queue can easily be unplugged so quickly
- * that proper merging is not done on the front request. This may hurt
- * performance greatly for some devices. The block layer cannot safely
- * do merging on that first request for these queues, but the driver can
- * call this function and make it happen any way. Only the driver knows
- * when it is safe to do so.
