Tejun Heo 1460cb65a1 locking/mutex, sched/wait: Add mutex_lock_io()
We sometimes end up propagating IO blocking through mutexes; however,
because there currently is no way of annotating mutex sleeps as
iowait, there are cases where iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked
report misleading numbers obscuring the actual state of the system.

This patch adds mutex_lock_io() so that mutex sleeps can be marked as
iowait in those cases.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
