* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
writeback: fix possible bdi writeback refcounting problem
writeback: Fix bdi use after free in wb_work_complete()
writeback: improve scalability of bdi writeback work queues
writeback: remove smp_mb(), it's not needed with list_add_tail_rcu()
writeback: use schedule_timeout_interruptible()
writeback: add comments to bdi_work structure
writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()
writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback
writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()
writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_list
writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout
fs: Assign bdi in super_block
writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structure
writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback: get rid of wbc->for_writepages
fs: remove bdev->bd_inode_backing_dev_info

wb_clear_pending AFAIKS should not be called after the item has been
put on the list, except by the worker threads. It could lead to the
situation where the refcount is decremented below 0 and cause lots of
problems.
Presumably the !wb_has_dirty_io case is not a common one, so it can
be discovered when the thread wakes up to check?
Also add a comment in bdi_work_clear.

By the time bdi_work_on_stack gets evaluated again in bdi_work_free, it
can already have been deallocated and used for something else in the
!on stack case, giving a false positive in this test and causing
corruption.

If you're going to do an atomic RMW on each list entry, there's not much
point in all the RCU complexities of the list walking. This is only going
to help the multi-thread case I guess, but it doesn't hurt to do now.

We cannot safely ensure that the inodes are all gone at this point
in time, and we must not destroy this bdi with inodes having off it.
So just splice our entries to the default bdi since that one will
always persist.

bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for
WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback()
for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle
only WB_SYNC_NONE.
Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the
parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up
the API considerably.

We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().
Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

We need to be able to pass in range_cyclic as well, so instead
of growing yet another argument, split the arguments into a
struct wb_writeback_args structure that we can use internally.
Also makes it easier to just copy all members to an on-stack
struct, since we can't access work after clearing the pending
bit.

WB_SYNC_NONE
Since it's an opportunistic writeback and not a data integrity action,
don't punt to blocking writeback. Just wakeup the thread and it will

Both drivers (rt2860 and rt3090) register themselves as "rt2860" on
loading the module.
In the very rare case of somebody having two cards in his machine, one
using rt3090 and the other one using the rt2860 driver, loading both
modules would be impossible, the second one will not be loaded as the
kernel will tell you that the driver is already registered.
This was also present with rt2870/rt3070 (with both driver registering
as "rt2870"), but the code has been merged to one driver recently.
The follwoing patch fixes this potential problem until merging of
rt2860/rt3090 code to a single driver.

The result of container_of should not be NULL. In particular, in this case
the argument to the enclosing function has passed though INIT_WORK, which
dereferences it, implying that its container cannot be NULL.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@@
identifier fn,work,x,fld;

Cowloop is a "copy-on-write" pseudo block driver. It can
be stacked on top of a "real" block driver, and catches
all write operations on their way from the file systems
layer above to the real driver below, effectively shielding
the lower driver from those write accesses. The requests are
then diverted to an ordinary file, located somewhere else
(configurable). Later read requests are checked to see whether
they can be serviced by the "real" block driver below, or
must be pulled in from the diverted location. More information
is on the project's website http://www.ATComputing.nl/cowloop/
