Merge branch 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
writeback: fix possible bdi writeback refcounting problem
writeback: Fix bdi use after free in wb_work_complete()
writeback: improve scalability of bdi writeback work queues
writeback: remove smp_mb(), it's not needed with list_add_tail_rcu()
writeback: use schedule_timeout_interruptible()
writeback: add comments to bdi_work structure
writeback: splice dirty inode entries to default bdi on bdi_destroy()
writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback
writeback: inline allocation failure handling in bdi_alloc_queue_work()
writeback: use RCU to protect bdi_list
writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout
fs: Assign bdi in super_block
writeback: make wb_writeback() take an argument structure
writeback: merely wakeup flusher thread if work allocation fails for WB_SYNC_NONE
writeback: get rid of wbc->for_writepages
fs: remove bdev->bd_inode_backing_dev_info
