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
