Hello, Linus.
These are followups for the earlier deadlock issue involving async
ending up waiting for itself through block requesting module[1]. The
following changes are made by these commits.
* Instead of requesting default elevator on each request_queue init,
block now requests it once early during boot.
* Kmod triggers warning if invoked from an async worker.
* Async synchronization implementation has been reimplemented. It's a
lot simpler now.
This branch depends on wq/for-3.9 for current_is_async() and this pull
request assumes that wq/for-3.9 is already pulled in. It also
contains a pull from 3.8-rc4 to base async synchronization
reimplementation on top of async fixes there.
The changes are available in the following git branch
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git for-3.9-async
