This set attempts to improve the quiesce time when using a large set of
namespaces, which also improves I/O failover time in a multipath environment.

We improve for both non-blocking hctxs (e.g. pci, fc, rdma) and blocking
hctxs (e.g. tcp).

The original patch from Chao was targeted to rdma, hence Patch #4 is just
for testing purposes in case testing with nvme-tcp is an issue.

Chao Leng (1):
  nvme-core: reduce io failover time

Sagi Grimberg (3):
  blk-mq: add async quiesce interface for blocking hw queues
  nvme: improve quiesce for blocking queues
  nvme-rdma: use blocking quiesce interface
