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 fs/afs/write.c | 1 fs/block_dev.c | 1 fs/btrfs/disk-io.c | 1 fs/btrfs/ordered-data.c | 1 fs/fs-writeback.c | 367 ++++++++++++++++-------------------- fs/fuse/inode.c | 2 fs/inode.c | 4 fs/jbd2/commit.c | 1 fs/nfs/write.c | 1 fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.c | 4 fs/super.c | 6 fs/sync.c | 9 fs/ubifs/budget.c | 20 - fs/ubifs/super.c | 1 include/linux/backing-dev.h | 3 include/linux/fs.h | 2 include/linux/writeback.h | 5 include/trace/events/ext4.h | 6 mm/backing-dev.c | 90 ++++++-- mm/page-writeback.c | 22 -- 20 files changed, 273 insertions(+), 274 deletions(-) -- Jens Axboe
