>From ef8878259ce360ec352b591746761249393cf952 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 21:49:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality. It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function, and it triggers if blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy() is called before bdi_unregister, which a subsequent patch will make happen. So this isn't wanted. It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed. Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global resource. Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy() perfectly fits these requirements. So bdi_unregister can be discarded with the important content moved to bdi_destroy, as can the writeback_bdi_unregister event which is already not used. This is tagged for 'stable' as it is a pre-requisite for a subsequent patch which moves calls to blk_cleanup_queue() before calls to del_gendisk(). The commit identified as 'Fixes' removed a lot of other functionality from bdi_unregister(), and made a change which necessitated moving the blk_cleanup_queue() calls.
