[SRU][Artful][PATCH 0/1] delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1747769

== SRU Justification ==
Mainline commit e33a9bba85a8 introduced a regression in v4.11-rc1.  This regression
caused delayacct_blkio_end() to be called by try_to_wake_up().
However, the call was made before we have context-switched. This patch is now correct, in that
the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.

This commit has already landed in Bionic master-next, so it is only needed in Artful.

Commit c96f5471ce7 is in mainline as fo v4.15-rc9.

== Fix ==
commit c96f5471ce7d2aefd0dda560cc23f08ab00bc65d

    delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task

== Regression Potential ==
Low.  This commit has also been cc'd to stable, so it has had additional upstream
review.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
