Prev: [PATCH 12/13] writeback: try more writeback as long as something was written
Next: Staging: vt6656: Remove the ULONG_PTR and DWORD_PTR defines from ttype.h
From: Wu Fengguang on 5 Aug 2010 12:30
When wbc.more_io was first introduced, it indicates whether there are
at least one superblock whose s_more_io contains more IO work. Now with
the per-bdi writeback, it can be replaced with a simple b_more_io test.
