The patch titled
slow_work_thread() should do the exclusive wait
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
slow_work_thread-should-do-the-exclusive-wait.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: slow_work_thread() should do the exclusive wait
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
slow_work_thread() sleeps on slow_work_thread_wq without WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE,
this means that slow_work_enqueue()->__wake_up(nr_exclusive => 1) wakes up
all kslowd threads. Afaics this is not what we want, change slow_work_thread()
to use prepare_to_wait_exclusive().
