From 5129a469a91a91427334c40e29e64c6d0ab68caf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jörn Engel Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2010 08:54:42 +0200 Subject: 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 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.
