From: Scott Wood Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 15:33:21 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 151/354] locking/rt-mutex: Flush block plug on __down_read() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=cc5550a838341090c57c98f866384cd5c816aac6 __down_read() bypasses the rtmutex frontend to call rt_mutex_slowlock_locked() directly, and thus it needs to call blk_schedule_flush_flug() itself.
