BLK_LLD_BUSY(9)			 Block Devices		       BLK_LLD_BUSY(9)

NAME
       blk_lld_busy - Check if underlying low-level drivers of a device are
       busy

SYNOPSIS
       int blk_lld_busy(struct request_queue * q);

ARGUMENTS
       q
	   the queue of the device being checked

DESCRIPTION
       Check if underlying low-level drivers of a device are busy. If the
       drivers want to export their busy state, they must set own exporting
       function using blk_queue_lld_busy first.

       Basically, this function is used only by request stacking drivers to
       stop dispatching requests to underlying devices when underlying devices
       are busy. This behavior helps more I/O merging on the queue of the
       request stacking driver and prevents I/O throughput regression on burst
       I/O load.

RETURN
       0 - Not busy (The request stacking driver should dispatch request) 1 -
       Busy (The request stacking driver should stop dispatching request)
