[Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

  [Test Case]

   * Large numbers of IO tasks to large numbers of XFS fileystems while
  under memory pressure.  Testcase may not be guaranteed.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Upstream commit
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=7a29ac474a47eb8cf212b45917683ae89d6fa13b
   - This commit allocates rescuer threads for each of the XFS work queues.

   * Possible additional memory usage from rescuer threads.

  [Other Info]

   * Anything else you think is useful to include
   * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
   * and address these questions in advance
