Hi all,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allnoconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/linux/blk-cgroup.h:23,
                 from include/linux/writeback.h:14,
                 from include/linux/memcontrol.h:22,
                 from include/linux/swap.h:9,
                 from include/linux/suspend.h:5,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:13:
include/linux/blkdev.h: In function 'blk_io_schedule':
include/linux/blkdev.h:1857:26: error: 'sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs' undeclared (first use in this function)
 1857 |  unsigned long timeout = sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs * HZ / 2;
      |                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caused by commit

  e6249cdd46e4 ("block: add blk_io_schedule() for avoiding task hung in sync dio")

linux/sched/sysctl.h was not included since CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.
I have applied the following patch for today.
