3.18.36-rt38-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@xxxxxxxxxx>
lru_add_drain_all() works by scheduling lru_add_drain_cpu() to run
on all CPUs that have non-empty LRU pagevecs and then waiting for
the scheduled work to complete. However, workqueue threads may never
have the chance to run on a CPU that's running a SCHED_FIFO task.
This causes lru_add_drain_all() to block forever.
This commit solves this problem by changing lru_add_drain_all()
to drain the LRU pagevecs of remote CPUs. This is done by grabbing
swapvec_lock and calling lru_add_drain_cpu().
PS: This is based on an idea and initial implementation by
Rik van Riel.
