Description:
Reports the number of I/O requests currently in progress
(pending / in flight) in a device driver. This can be less
than the number of requests queued in the block device queue.
The report contains 2 fields: one for read requests
and one for write requests.
The value type is unsigned int.
Cf. Documentation/block/stat.rst which contains a single value for
requests in flight.
This is related to nr_requests in Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.rst
and for SCSI device also its queue_depth.
