Subject: [PATCH 0/5]  Remove possible deadlocks in nfs_release_page() - V3

This set includes acked-by's from Andrew and Peter so it should be
OK for all five patches to go upstream through the NFS tree.

I split the congestion tracking patch out from the wait-for-PG_private
patch as they are conceptually separate.

This set continues to perform well in my tests and addresses all
issues that have been raised.

Thanks a lot,
NeilBrown

NeilBrown (5):
      SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.
      MM: export page_wakeup functions
      NFS: avoid deadlocks with loop-back mounted NFS filesystems.
      NFS: avoid waiting at all in nfs_release_page when congested.
      NFS/SUNRPC: Remove other deadlock-avoidance mechanisms in nfs_release_page()
