[ Upstream commitcc3200eac4] commit01e99aeca3("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into hctx->dispatch directly") may change to add flush request to the tail of dispatch by applying the 'add_head' parameter of blk_mq_sched_insert_request. Turns out this way causes performance regression on NCQ controller because flush is non-NCQ command, which can't be queued when there is any in-flight NCQ command. When adding flush rq to the front of hctx->dispatch, it is easier to introduce extra time to flush rq's latency compared with adding to the tail of dispatch queue because of S_SCHED_RESTART, then chance of flush merge is increased, and less flush requests may be issued to controller. So always insert flush request to the front of dispatch queue just like before applying commit01e99aeca3("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into hctx->dispatch directly").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
