Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - 'Nested Sleep Debugging', activated when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y. This instruments might_sleep() checks to catch places that nest blocking primitives - such as mutex usage in a wait loop. Such bugs can result in hard to debug races/hangs. Another category of invalid nesting that this facility will detect is the calling of blocking functions from within schedule() -> sched_submit_work() -> blk_schedule_flush_plug(). There's some potential for false positives (if secondary blocking primitives themselves are not ready yet for this facility), but the kernel will warn once about such bugs per bootup, so the warning isn't much of a nuisance. This feature comes with a number of fixes, for problems uncovered with it, so no messages are expected normally. - Another ro...
