block: limit request dispatch loop duration
When IO requests are made continuously and the target block device handles requests faster than request arrival, the request dispatch loop keeps on repeating to dispatch the arriving requests very long time, more than a minute. Since the loop runs as a workqueue worker task, the very long loop duration triggers workqueue watchdog timeout and BUG [1]. To avoid the very long loop duration, break the loop periodically. When opportunity to dispatch requests still exists, check need_resched(). If need_resched() returns true, the dispatch loop already consumed its time slice, then reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop. With heavy IO load, need_resched() does not return true for 20~30 seconds. To cover such case, check time spent in the dispatch loop with jiffies. If more than 1 second is spent, reschedule the dispatch work and break the loop. [1] [ 609.691437] BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=10 node=1 flags=0x0 nice=-20 stuck for 35s!
