Subject: [PATCH block/for-linus 1/3] block: replace icq->changed with
 icq->flags

icq->changed was used for ICQ_*_CHANGED bits.  Rename it to flags and
access it under ioc->lock instead of using atomic bitops.
ioc_get_changed() is added so that the changed part can be fetched and
cleared as before.

icq->flags will be used to carry other flags.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

Jens, these three patches are to fix the swap heavy workload
regression reported by Shaohua.

Shaohua, I ended up changing the second patch, which shouldn't change
anything but it would be great if you can verify this series once
more.

Thank you!
