[PATCH 0/8] Per-bdi writeback flusher threads v16

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Tue Sep 01 2009 - 07:19:51 EST


Hi,

Here's the 16th version of the writeback patches. Changes since v15:

- Fix a newly introduced build failure in ubifs
- Split the 'move super_block to writeback_control' into a prep patch.
- Elevate super_block ref count before diving into generic_sync_sb_inodes(),
not sure about this approach yet. Should match the old code, but perhaps
we can do better. This fixes the issue that Ted saw with delayed writeout
of dirty inodes after RO mount.
- Pass wbc around in fs-writeback.c instead of 3-4 arguments.
