From 9c3a8ee8a1d72c5c0d7fbdf426d80e270ddfa54c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2010 12:07:27 +0200 Subject: writeback: remove writeback_inodes_wbc This was just an odd wrapper around writeback_inodes_wb. Removing this also allows to get rid of the bdi member of struct writeback_control which was rather out of place there.

Split it out into a separate helper to make the code simpler. This also allows to get rid of the sb member in struct writeback_control, which was rather out of place there. Also update the comments in writeback_sb_inodes that explain the handling of inodes from wrong superblocks.

This means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it all the way through the stack.
