This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bdi: move bdi_dev_name out of line to the 5.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bdi-move-bdi_dev_name-out-of-line.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8145bb5849cd6455b07aac5e220e4ad0f73ddcff Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Date: Mon May 4 14:47:54 2020 +0200 bdi: move bdi_dev_name out of line [ Upstream commit eb7ae5e06bb6e6ac6bb86872d27c43ebab92f6b2 ] bdi_dev_name is not a fast path function, move it out of line. This prepares for using it from modular callers without having to export an implementation detail like bdi_unknown_name.
