The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken by the scheduler. Request is marked as urgent in cmd_flags (by the scheduler) with a new flag - REQ_URGENT. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write collision scenarios. Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request mechanism, this code path is never activated.
