block: Update blk_update_request() documentation
Although the original intent was to use blk_update_request() in stacking block drivers only, it is used much more widely today. Reflect this in the documentation block above this function. See also: * commit32fab448e5
("block: add request update interface"). * commit2e60e02297
("block: clean up request completion API"). * commited6565e734
("block: handle partial completions for special payload requests").

/**
|
||||
* blk_update_request - Special helper function for request stacking drivers
|
||||
* blk_update_request - Complete multiple bytes without completing the request
|
||||
* @req: the request being processed
|
||||
* @error: block status code
|
||||
* @nr_bytes: number of bytes to complete @req
|
||||
* @nr_bytes: number of bytes to complete for @req
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Description:
|
||||
* Ends I/O on a number of bytes attached to @req, but doesn't complete
|
||||
* the request structure even if @req doesn't have leftover.
|
||||
* If @req has leftover, sets it up for the next range of segments.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This special helper function is only for request stacking drivers
|
||||
* (e.g. request-based dm) so that they can handle partial completion.
|
||||
* Actual device drivers should use blk_mq_end_request instead.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Passing the result of blk_rq_bytes() as @nr_bytes guarantees
|
||||
* %false return from this function.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Note:
|
||||
* The RQF_SPECIAL_PAYLOAD flag is ignored on purpose in both
|
||||
* blk_rq_bytes() and in blk_update_request().
|
||||
* The RQF_SPECIAL_PAYLOAD flag is ignored on purpose in this function
|
||||
* except in the consistency check at the end of this function.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Return:
|
||||
* %false - this request doesn't have any more data
