Can we perhaps add a comment to struct bdi_writeback definition (or maybe
wb_init()?) mentioning that it holds a reference to 'bdi' if it is
bdi_writeback struct for a cgroup? I don't see it mentioned anywhere and
now that you've changed the code, it isn't that obvious from the code
either... Otherwise the patch looks good so feel free to add:
