Subject: Re: [PATCHv4 12/14] writeback: optimize periodic bdi thread wakeups

I haven't reviewed this in detail, but what ensures the timer is
synchronously removed when the forker goes away?  I don't see a
del_timer_sync call anywhere.  For now it might be easier to just
skip this patch and leave it for later.
