Merge tag 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux

Pull writeback tree from Wu Fengguang:
 "Mainly from Jan Kara to avoid iput() in the flusher threads."

* tag 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux:
  writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread
  vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()
  vfs: Move waiting for inode writeback from end_writeback() to evict_inode()
  writeback: Refactor writeback_single_inode()
  writeback: Remove wb->list_lock from writeback_single_inode()
  writeback: Separate inode requeueing after writeback
  writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling
  writeback: Move requeueing when I_SYNC set to writeback_sb_inodes()
  writeback: Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete()
  writeback: initialize global_dirty_limit
  fs: remove 8 bytes of padding from struct writeback_control on 64 bit builds
  mm: page-writeback.c: local functions should not be exposed globally
