There are checks on it if function is called with argumetns one of which is GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_NOIO/etc. If system couldn't find request blk_get_request() return NULL. But if there is function call with argument __GFP_WAIT the system will wait until get request or the queue becomes dead. If something kills the queue, blk_get_request() return NULL and next operations will lead to errors. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
