> When the ring buffer is full, the driver finds an outstanding request that will
> free up sufficient space for the current operation and waits for it to complete.
> If no such request can be found, there is a fall back path of just polling until
> sufficient space is available.
> 
> This path should not be required any more. It is a hangover from the bad days of
> OLR such that it was possible for the ring to be completely filled without ever
> having submitted a request. This can no longer happen as requests are now
> submitted in a timely manner. Hence the entire polling path is obsolete. As it
> also causes headaches in LRC land due to nesting faked requests, it is being
> removed entirely.

Don’t we normally say
	if (WARN_ON(&request->list == &ring->request_list))
		return -ENOSPC;
