[PATCH v2 3/7] mm/writeback: commit reason of WB_REASON_FORKER_THREAD mismatch name

From: Wanpeng Li
Date: Sat Jun 15 2013 - 21:15:42 EST


After commit 839a8e86("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation
with unbound workqueue"), there is no bdi forker thread any more. However,
WB_REASON_FORKER_THREAD is still used due to it is somewhat userland visible
and we won't be exposing exactly the same information with just a different
name.
