Subject: [GIT PULL] writeback fixes and cleanups
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:49:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090915194955.GV23126@kernel.dk> (raw)

Hi,

This should conclude the major updates to the previous writeback
inclusion, and has a bunch of must have fixes from Nick as well. So I
think we should include this sooner rather than later, should also fix
Ingo's bug report.

  git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git writeback

Christoph Hellwig (1):
      writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for WB_SYNC_NONE

Jens Axboe (11):
      fs: remove bdev->bd_inode_backing_dev_info
      writeback: get rid of wbc->for_writepages
      writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structure
      Assign bdi in super_block
      writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout
      writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_list
      writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()
      writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback
      writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()
      writeback: add comments to bdi_work structure
      writeback: use schedule_timeout_interruptible()

Nick Piggin (4):
      writeback: remove smp_mb(), it's not needed with list_add_tail_rcu()
      writeback: improve scalability of bdi writeback work queues
      writeback: Fix bdi use after free in wb_work_complete()
      writeback: fix possible bdi writeback refcounting problem
