[PATCH 01/12] writeback: Factor out writeback_finish()

From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Date: Mon Jun 26 2023 - 13:36:26 EST


Instead of having a 'done' variable that controls the nested loops,
have a writeback_finish() that can be returned directly. This involves
keeping more things in writeback_control, but it's just moving stuff
allocated on the stack to being allocated slightly earlier on the stack.
