    [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions · 3fcfab16
    Andrew Morton authored
    Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
    Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
    
    The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
    backing-dev congestion functions.
    
    This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
    functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.
