[PATCH 1/5] writeback: laptop_mode_timer_fn() needs rcu_read_lock() around bdi_writeback iteration

Show all headers | View raw

laptop_mode_timer_fn() was using bdi_for_each_wb() without the
required RCU locking leading to the following warning.

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at include/linux/backing-dev.h:415 laptop_mode_timer_fn+0x106/0x170()

Fix it by adding rcu_read_lock() around the iteration.
