flush request is issued in transaction commit code path usually, so
looks using
GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory for flush request bio falls into the classic
deadlock issue. dm already gets it right.
ping!
This one should probably also be queued for -stable right?
I suspect so.

I've edited the commit-log message slightly and added a 'cc' for stable,
It is now in my for-next branch.  I'll push to Linus next week.

Thanks Shaohua,

NeilBrown
