Subject: [PATCH 15/18] writeback: remove .nonblocking and .encountered_congestion
Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 05:45:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110519214746.165508083@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110519214530.939830917@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-kill-nonblocking.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3582 bytes --]

Remove two unused struct writeback_control fields:

	.encountered_congestion	(completely unused)
	.nonblocking		(never set, checked/showed in XFS,NFS/btrfs)

The .for_background check in nfs_write_inode() is also removed btw,
as .for_background implies WB_SYNC_NONE.
