Maybe we wanna make this an inline function? Without splitting backing-dev.h this leads recursive includes. With the split of that file in your series we could make it inline again. Another thing I've through of would be to always dynamically allocate bdis instead of embedding them. This would stop the need to have backing-dev.h included in blkdev.h and would greatly simply the filesystems that allocated bdis on their own. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
