Subject: Catch filesystems lacking s_bdi
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5129a469a91a91427334c40e29e64c6d0ab68caf;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Catch filesystems lacking s_bdi

noop_backing_dev_info is used only as a flag to mark filesystems that
don't have any backing store, like tmpfs, procfs, spufs, etc.

Signed-off-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org>

Changed the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON(). Note that adding dirty inodes
to the noop_backing_dev_info is not legal and will not result in
them being flushed, but we already catch this condition in
__mark_inode_dirty() when checking for a registered bdi.
