[PATCH 0/2] writeback: start-all allocation elimination

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 11:16:33 EST


This is on top of the parts of the previous series that have been
queued up. I've posted the first patch in a reply to Jan last week,
this is a more official posting. No changes, it works for me. Last
patch is just a cleanup, finally killing off nr_pdflush_threads,
8 years after we deprecated it.
