Subject: [GIT PULL] writeback fixes for v3.9-rc1
Hi Linus,
Here are 2 writeback fixes.
Please be prepared for a merge conflict in fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c as
occured/resolved in linux-next's merge commit 6ae374247bfd8 ("Merge
remote-tracking branch 'writeback/writeback-for-next'").
Thanks,
Fengguang

Negative (setpoint-dirty) in bdi_position_ratio() (2013-01-24 22:22:22 +0800)
----------------------------------------------------------------
2 writeback fixes
- fix negative (setpoint - dirty) in 32bit archs
- use down_read_trylock() in writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle()
----------------------------------------------------------------
Miao Xie (1):
vfs: re-implement writeback_inodes_sb(_nr)_if_idle() and rename them
paul.szabo@...ney.edu.au (1):
Negative (setpoint-dirty) in bdi_position_ratio()
(Yeah I'm aware of that broken author name and tried to fix it, however just
found that the fixing commit lies in "* (no branch)" and now it's a bit late
to update the "writeback-for-next" branch).
