Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from hci workqueues

Bluetooth hci uses ordered HIGHPRI, MEM_RECLAIM workqueues.  It's
likely that the flags came from mechanical conversion from
create_singlethread_workqueue().  Bluetooth shouldn't be depended upon
for memory reclaim and the spurious MEM_RECLAIM flag can trigger the
following warning.  Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM and convert to
alloc_ordered_workqueue() while at it.

  workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM hci0:hci_power_off is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events:btusb_work

Hello,

Marcel, as this isn't urgent and there is slight chance that this
might trigger another warning if these work items get flushed from a
different MEM_RECLAIM work item from e.g. nfs over network over
bluetooth.  Can you please try applying the patch after the 4.13-rc1
closes and see whether it turns up anything else?

Thanks.
