Merge branch 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block
* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block: writeback: writeback_inodes_sb() should use bdi_start_writeback() writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier writeback: make the super_block pinning more efficient writeback: don't resort for a single super_block in move_expired_inodes() writeback: move inodes from one super_block together writeback: get rid to incorrect references to pdflush in comments writeback: improve readability of the wb_writeback() continue/break logic writeback: cleanup writeback_single_inode() writeback: kupdate writeback shall not stop when more io is possible writeback: stop background writeback when below background threshold writeback: balance_dirty_pages() shall write more than dirtied pages fs: Fix busyloop in wb_writeback()
