This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior. All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers, are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag. biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool, btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c. biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as their usage was recently audited and revised to never risk deadlock. It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets can end up being the non-rescued version.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
