When I was implementing a latency analyzer tool by using task->delays
and other things, I found an issue in delayacct. The issue is it should
clear the target's flag instead of current's in delayacct_blkio_end().
When I git blame delayacct, I found there're some similar issues we have
fixed in delayacct_blkio_end().
- Commit c96f5471ce7d ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the
correct task") fixed the issue that it should account blkio
completion on the target task instead of current.
- Commit b512719f771a ("delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end()
after delayacct init failure") fixed the issue that it should check
target task's delays instead of current task'.
It seems that delayacct_blkio_{begin, end} are error prone.
So I introduce a new paratmeter - the target task 'p' - to these
helpers. After that change, the callsite will specifilly set the right
task, which should make it less error prone.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
