Subject: [PATCH 3.17 069/319] um: ubd: Fix for processes stuck in D state forever
3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thorsten Knabe <linux@...rsten-knabe.de>
commit 2a2361228c5e6d8c1733f00653481de918598e50 upstream.
Starting with Linux 3.12 processes get stuck in D state forever in
UserModeLinux under sync heavy workloads. This bug was introduced by
commit 805f11a0d5 (um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport).
Fix bug by adding a check if FLUSH request was successfully submitted to
the I/O thread and keeping the FLUSH request on the request queue on
submission failures.
Fixes: 805f11a0d5 (um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport)
