Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] mm/writeback: commit reason of WB_REASON_FORKER_THREAD mismatch name
Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 09:14:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371345290-19588-3-git-send-email-liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371345290-19588-1-git-send-email-liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

After commit 839a8e86("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation
with unbound workqueue"), there is no bdi forker thread any more. However,
WB_REASON_FORKER_THREAD is still used due to it is somewhat userland visible 
and we won't be exposing exactly the same information with just a different 
name.
