[PATCH 0/8] Per-bdi writeback flusher threads v19

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Tue Sep 08 2009 - 05:24:41 EST


Hi,

This is the 19th release of the writeback patchset. Changes since
v18 include:

- Switch unpin_sb_for_writeback() to using put_super() instead of
__put_super_and_need_start(). This means making put_super()
non-static, but we don't have to export it.
- Always check and clean old data.
- Don't copy *wbc twice in wb_do_writeback().
- Tweak 'when to break' logic in wb_writeback().
- Get rid of wb_start_writeback() and bdi_sched_work(), fold them into
bdi_queue_work().

Thanks to Jan Kara and Christoph Hellwig for their suggestions and
review!
