[manjaro-dev] BFQ v7r8 for 4.4-rcX

[Philip Müller]

Hi community,

I updated BFQ v7r8 to work with Linux 4.4-rc5.
Patch 4 can be merged if needed in a later state. Needed since rc5. rc1
- rc4 will work with the patches 1 - 3.

Changes since v4.3:

__GFP_WAIT got renamed to __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM

See:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d0164adc89f6bb374d304ffcc375c6d2652fe67d

Since v4.4-rc5 the @css parameter got removed from the three migration
methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
cgroup_taskset iteration helpers got updated to also return the
destination css in addition to the task being migrated.

See:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1f7dd3e5a6e4f093017fff12232572ee1aa4639b
