The patch titled Subject: NFS: remove congestion control has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfs-remove-congestion-control.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/nfs-remove-congestion-control.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/nfs-remove-congestion-control.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Subject: NFS: remove congestion control Linux no longer uses the bdi congestion tracking framework. So remove code from bdi which tries to support it. Also remove the "nfs_congestion_kb" sysctl. This is a user-visible change, but unlikely to be a problematic one.
