This removes the dependency on interrupts to wake up task. Set task
state as TASK_RUNNING, if need_resched() returns true,
while polling for IO completion.
Earlier, polling task used to sleep, relying on interrupt to wake it up.
This made some IO take very long when interrupt-coalescing is enabled in
NVMe.

Hello Nitesh,

Can you check the clock of the system you used to send this e-mail? In 
the header of your e-mail I found the following:

Date: Sun, 30 May 2083 09:51:06 +0530

Thanks,

Bart.

This is a horrible Changelog.. it does not in fact explain why the patch
works or is correct.

Also, set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) is dodgy (similarly in
__blk_mq_poll), why do you need that memory barrier?

You're right. The subsequent revision that was committed removed the
barrier. The commit is here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=67b4110f8c8d16e588d7730db8e8b01b32c1bd8b

I hope the code at least looks more reasonable. The changelog isn't much
different, though.

Yeah, that should have been improved.

I pointed that out in the review, and v2 fixed it. v2 is the
one that got merged.

Being ever more forgetful (I blame the kids) I find Changelogs more and
more important, ymmv ;-)

Right missed that. In fact, possibly the only reason I saw this is that
Nitesh had this computer configured wrong and the email is from the
future and thus the very first entry in my lkml folder.

There is something seriously wrong with the date on your computer, this
patch is dated from May 29th 2083,... I would not be surprised if it
messed up people's email client and you did not get any response because
of that...
