    Merge branch 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · 6bec0035
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
     "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
      preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
      most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
      it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
      address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.
    
      Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
      have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
      lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
      unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"
