Merge branch 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue update from Tejun Heo:
"Workqueue changes for v4.5. One cleanup patch and three to improve
the debuggability.
Workqueue now has a stall detector which dumps workqueue state if any
worker pool hasn't made forward progress over a certain amount of time
(30s by default) and also triggers a warning if a workqueue which can
be used in memory reclaim path tries to wait on something which can't
be.
These should make workqueue hangs a lot easier to debug."
* 'for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: simplify the apply_workqueue_attrs_locked()
workqueue: implement lockup detector
watchdog: introduce touch_softlockup_watchdog_sched()
workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue
