Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels, blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers. Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes. Followings are additional background information of why request-based dm needs this interface. - Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io), because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock. See below for detailed description of possible deadlock: - To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io). - Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io, it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original submitter. Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion, because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to the lower driver again later. That's not good. - So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more efficient.
