      blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl work · 450adcbe
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio
        throttling testing.
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173
      
      o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
        queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening
        because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling
        work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not
        finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
        descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.
      
      o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
        throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
        such cases.
      
      o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and
        does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.
