Linus Torvalds 0a27044c83 Merge branch 'for-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo:
 "Work items which may be involved in memory reclaim path may be
  executed by the rescuer under memory pressure.  When a rescuer gets
  activated, it processes whatever are on the pending list and then goes
  back to sleep until the manager kicks it again which involves 100ms
  delay.

  This is problematic for self-requeueing work items or the ones running
  on ordered workqueues as there always is only one work item on the
  pending list when the rescuer kicks in.  The execution of that work
  item produces more to execute but the rescuer won't see them until
  after the said 100ms has passed, so such workqueues would only execute
  one work item every 100ms under prolonged memory pressure, which BTW
  may be being prolonged due to the slow execution.

  Neil wrote up a patch which fixes this issue by keeping the rescuer
  working as long as the target workqueue is busy but doesn't have
  enough workers"

* 'for-3.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.
  workqueue: invert the order between pool->lock and wq_mayday_lock
  workqueue: cosmetic update in rescuer_thread()
