Subject: [PATCH 3/6] writeback: kill writeback_control.more_io
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:09:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100722061822.763629019@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100722050928.653312535@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: writeback-kill-more_io.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2988 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.
