Subject: [PATCH 13/18] writeback: remove writeback_control.more_io
Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 05:45:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110519214745.911525087@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110519214530.939830917@intel.com
[-- Attachment #1: writeback-kill-more_io.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4429 bytes --]
When wbc.more_io was first introduced, it indicates whether there are
at least one superblock whose s_more_io contains more IO work. Now with
the per-bdi writeback, it can be replaced with a simple b_more_io test.
