Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the block tree

Hi all,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c: In function 'aoeblk_gdalloc':
drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c:410:21: error: 'struct backing_dev_info' has no member named 'name'
  410 |  q->backing_dev_info->name = "aoe";
      |                     ^~

Caused by commit

  1cd925d58385 ("bdi: remove the name field in struct backing_dev_info")

I applied the following patch for today.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 14:19:30 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] bdi: fix up for "remove the name field in struct
 backing_dev_info"
