Rrr yes my bad I meant

+struct backing_dev_info *inode_to_bdi(struct inode *inode)
+{
+	if (!inode || !inode->i_sb || !inode->i_sb->s_bdi)
+		return __inode_to_bdi(inode);
+
+	return inode->i_sb->s_bdi;
+}

I was hopping that blockdev_superblock->s_bdi == NULL
because what sb_is_blkdev_sb() is doing is checking
for blockdev_superblock.
