Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Post merge per-bdi writeback patches v2

Hi,

Since the writeback patches are now (at last!) in mainline, I renamed
this branch from writeback-postmerge to just plain writeback. The first
four patches are identical to the ones from friday, and then I added
three more patches. Two of them are cleanups to better separate the
WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL writeback paths, the latter is a fix for
when a bdi is destroyed whilst inodes are still attached. I don't see
a much better way to fix this at the moment, if inodes get requeued
at sync time, then it would complicate exit quite a lot. So just
move those entries to the default_backing_dev_info, which can handle
them at any time.

Patches are also available at:
