Subject: [PATCH 8/8] bdi: remove the name field in struct backing_dev_info
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 09:15:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200416071519.807660-9-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200416071519.807660-1-hch@lst.de>

The name is only printed for a not registered bdi in writeback.  Use the
device name there as is more useful anyway for the unlike case that the
warning triggers.
