The bdi congestion framework isn't widely used and should be deprecated. pktdvd makes use of it to track congestion, but this can be done entirely internally to pktdvd, so it doesn't need to use the framework. So introduce a "congested" flag. When waiting for bio_queue_size to drop, set this flag and a var_waitqueue() to wait for it. When bio_queue_size does drop and this flag is set, clear the flag and call wake_up_var(). We don't use a wait_var_event macro for the waiting as we need to set the flag and drop the spinlock before calling schedule() and while that is possible with __wait_var_event(), result is not easy to read.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
