3.12.61-rt82-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Luiz Capitulino lru_add_drain_all() works by scheduling lru_add_drain_cpu() to run on all CPUs that have non-empty LRU pagevecs and then waiting for the scheduled work to complete. However, workqueue threads may never have the chance to run on a CPU that's running a SCHED_FIFO task. This causes lru_add_drain_all() to block forever. This commit solves this problem by changing lru_add_drain_all() to drain the LRU pagevecs of remote CPUs. This is done by grabbing swapvec_lock and calling lru_add_drain_cpu(). PS: This is based on an idea and initial implementation by Rik van Riel.
