[PATCH 2/6] fs-writeback: provide a wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Similar to wakeup_flusher_threads(), except that we only wake
up the flusher threads on the specified backing device.

No functional changes in this patch.
