NAME
       blk_stop_queue - stop a queue

SYNOPSIS
       void blk_stop_queue(struct request_queue * q);

ARGUMENTS
       q
	   The struct request_queue in question

DESCRIPTION
       The Linux block layer assumes that a block driver will consume all
       entries on the request queue when the request_fn strategy is called.
       Often this will not happen, because of hardware limitations (queue
       depth settings). If a device driver gets a ´queue full´ response, or if
       it simply chooses not to queue more I/O at one point, it can call this
       function to prevent the request_fn from being called until the driver
       has signalled it´s ready to go again. This happens by calling
       blk_start_queue to restart queue operations. Queue lock must be held.
