commit cf131a81967583ae737df6383a0893b9fee75b4e upstream. Heavy contention of the sde flushlist_lock can cause hard lockups at extreme scale when the flushing logic is under stress. Mitigate by replacing the item at a time copy to the local list with an O(1) list_splice_init() and using the high priority work queue to do the flushes. Ported to linux-4.9.y.
I've queued this one for 4.9 and 4.4, thank you. -- Thanks, Sasha
