Subject: [PATCH block/for-4.3] writeback: remove
wb_writeback_work->single_wait/done
Hello, Jan.
So, something like the following. It depends on other changes so
won't apply as-is. I'll repost it as part of a patchset once -rc1
drops.
Thanks!
------ 8< ------
wb_writeback_work->single_wait/done are used for the wait mechanism
for synchronous wb_work (wb_writeback_work) items which are issued
when bdi_split_work_to_wbs() fails to allocate memory for asynchronous
wb_work items; however, there's no reason to use a separate wait
mechanism for this. bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can simply use on-stack
fallback wb_work item and separate wb_completion to wait for it.
This patch removes wb_work->single_wait/done and the related code and
make bdi_split_work_to_wbs() use on-stack fallback wb_work and
wb_completion instead.
