Hi, Continuing the daily releases of this patchset to ensure it's in solid shape for 2.6.32, here's version 17. Changes since v16: - Looking at the callers of sb writeback, WB_SYNC_ALL (data integrity) writeback already has the super_block pinned and doesn't require any further actions. So go back to the down_read_trylock() method of pinning the sb and also check for sb->s_root for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout. This is all packaged into pin_sb_for_writeback() and unpin_sb_for_writeback(). - Get rid of exported generic_sync_sb_inodes() and export sync_inodes_sb() for non-integrity writeback and sync_inodes_sb_wait() for integrity writeback, as suggested by hch. - Folded the 'move sb argument to wbc' into the main patch, with the addition of the above sync_inodes_sb()/sync_inodes_sb_wait() it didn't make sense to keep it separate anymore because wbc isn't passed in outside of the code. - Update the changelog on the main patch, the one switching to per-bdi flushing.
