Subject[PATCH v5 2/6] mm/writeback: Don't check force_wait to handle bdi->work_list
Date
After commit 839a8e86("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation
with unbound workqueue"), bdi_writeback_workfn runs off bdi_writeback->dwork,
on each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules if there are
more things to do instead of flush any work that race with us existing. It is
unecessary to check force_wait in wb_do_writeback since it is always 0 after
the mentioned commit. This patch remove the force_wait in wb_do_writeback.
