From b6e51316daede0633e9274e1e30391cfa4747877 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:13:54 +0200 Subject: writeback: separate starting of sync vs opportunistic writeback bdi_start_writeback() is currently split into two paths, one for WB_SYNC_NONE and one for WB_SYNC_ALL. Add bdi_sync_writeback() for WB_SYNC_ALL writeback and let bdi_start_writeback() handle only WB_SYNC_NONE. Push down the writeback_control allocation and only accept the parameters that make sense for each function. This cleans up the API considerably.
