commit df41872b68601059dd4a84858952dcae58acd331 upstream. I encountered a hung task issue, but not a performance one. I run DIO on a device (need lba continuous, for example open channel ssd), maybe hungtask in below case: DIO: Checkpoint: get addr A(at boundary), merge into BIO, no submit because boundary missing flush dirty data(get addr A+1), wait IO(A+1) writeback timeout, because DIO(A) didn't submit get addr A+2 fail, because checkpoint is doing dio_send_cur_page() may clear sdio->boundary, so prevent it from missing a boundary.

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.
