From: Thorsten Knabe <li...@thorsten-knabe.de> UML: UBD: Fix for processes stuck in D state forever in UserModeLinux.
Starting with Linux 3.12 processes get stuck in D state forever in UserModeLinux under sync heavy workloads. This bug was introduced by commit 805f11a0d5 (um: ubd: Add REQ_FLUSH suppport). Fix bug by adding a check if FLUSH request was successfully submitted to the I/O thread and keeping the FLUSH request on the request queue on submission failures.
