Subject: [PATCH] CFQ: mark must_alloc flag when a cfqq doesn't allocate any
 request

Hi Jens,

CFQ judges whether must_alloc flag is set, but never marks this flag.
This patch set must_alloc flag when there is no request allocated by
a cfqq. This change ensures cfqq will get at least one request even
if the queue is full.
Hope it helps.
