Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: blk-mq: uses page->list incorrectly


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'.
Conveniently, they are unioned together.  This means that code
can use them interchangably, which gets horribly confusing.

The blk-mq made the logical decision to try to use page->list.
But, that field was actually introduced just for the slub code.
->lru is the right field to use outside of slab/slub.
