From f11fcae8401a3175f528e2f7917362645d570111 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:53:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: only use bdi_writeback_all() for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout Data integrity writeback must use bdi_start_writeback() and ensure that wbc->sb and wbc->bdi are set.
