But I think it will be less error-prone and nicer to still have this patch, then move the killing logic from bdi threads to the forker task, and then, as a separate patch on top of that, get rid of this removing bdi from bdi_list part. I mean, this way the patch series will be more logical and finer grained and easier to review. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
