[PATCH 03/13] blk: make the bioset rescue_workqueue optional.

NeilBrown
2017-05-02T03:42:24Z

This patch converts bioset_create() and
bioset_create_nobvec() to not create a workqueue so
alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It
also introduces bioset_create_rescued() and
bioset_create_nobvec_rescued() which preserve the old
behaviour.

All callers of bioset_create() and bioset_create_nobvec(),
that are inside block device drivers, are converted to the
_rescued() version.

biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, drbd_md_io_bio_set,
and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c.

biosets used by md/raid to not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited to revised to never
risk deadlock.

It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.
