Hi David, Will you pick up this updated patch? It also removes the unused bdi. Thanks, Fengguang --- writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks (afs) No one is calling wb_writeback and write_cache_pages with wbc.nonblocking=1 any more. And lumpy pageout will want to do nonblocking writeback without the congestion wait.
