[PATCH 0/4] Post merge per-bdi writeback patches

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

This is what I currently have queued up for post merge of the
writeback patchset. It contains:

- The bdi work allocation and queue cleanup from Christoph.
- An sb->s_bdi pointer that gets assigned in get_sb_bdev(), OR
  from the fs ->fill_super() if the file system doesn't use
  get_sb_bdev(). It is required for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback. Someone
  more familiar with this code should check that it is done in the
  right place. As usual, I'm unsure of NFS...
- Once the ->s_bdi is in place, we can get rid of bdi_writeback_all()
  for WB_SYNC_ALL. WB_SYNC_ALL now has to use bdi_start_writeback().
  This cleans up bdi_writeback_all() nicely.
- With bdi_writeback_all() only doing WB_SYNC_NONE, we can drop
  the bdi_lock requirement and move to RCU for bdi_list.

Please take a good look and review/comment, thanks! This patchset
is based on top of writeback-v20. It boots and works fine for me.
