Re: [PATCH 04/12] writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks (afs)

[Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com>]

Hi David,

Will you pick up this updated patch? It also removes the unused bdi.

Thanks,
Fengguang

writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks (afs)

No one is calling wb_writeback and write_cache_pages with
wbc.nonblocking=1 any more. And lumpy pageout will want to do
nonblocking writeback without the congestion wait.
