From 32a88aa1b6dfb901cec64e1898cac78d0f25028a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:02:33 +0200 Subject: fs: Assign bdi in super_block We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super() callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info must assign that in ->fill_super(). Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!
