From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2010 21:08:06 +0000 (+0200) Subject: writeback: remove wb_list X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36-rc1~288^2~119 X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c1955ce32fdb0877b7a1b22feb2669358f65be76;p=~andy%2Flinux writeback: remove wb_list The wb_list member of struct backing_device_info always has exactly one element. Just use the direct bdi->wb pointer instead and simplify some code. Also remove bdi_task_init which is now trivial to prepare for the next patch.
