4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@xxxxxxxxx> commit acc9cf8c66c66b2cbbdb4a375537edee72be64df upstream. This patch fixes a cachedev registration-time allocation deadlock. This can deadlock on boot if your initrd auto-registeres bcache devices: Allocator thread: [ 720.727614] INFO: task bcache_allocato:3833 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
