Niltze, Ed-

Starting with kernel 5.4.19, linux/fs/fs-writeback.c , at line 2066, changes

to
set_worker_desc("flush-%s", bdi_dev_name(wb->bdi));

I realized that when I was hacking 5.4.19 and, subsequently, my currently running kernel --as there was no RC3:

uname -a
Linux huitzilopochtli 5.4.0-4+reiser4.0.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.4.20-1+reiser4.0.2 (2020-02-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have just built 5.5.5-1 and realized, upon applying reiser4-for-5.5.1.patch.gz, that your patch should be modified
  accordingly; else, the patch will fail and will necessitate manual intervention, i.e., similar to 5.4.18 vs 5.4.19:

so, everything works fine after that "manual intervention"?
