- A couple fixes for bugs introduced as part of the blk_status_t block
layer changes during the 4.13 merge window
- A printk throttling fix to use discrete rate limiting state for each
DM log level
- A stable@ fix for DM multipath that delays request requeueing to avoid
CPU lockup if/when the request queue is "dying"
dm mpath: do not lock up a CPU with requeuing activity
When using the block layer in single queue mode, get_request()
returns ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) if the queue is dying and the REQ_NOWAIT
flag has been passed to get_request(). Avoid that the kernel
reports soft lockup complaints in this case due to continuous
requeuing activity.
