struct address_space *mapping;
/* Prevent bdev from calling back into fs */
mapping = &logfs_super(sb)->s_bdev->bd_inode->i_data;
mapping_set_gfp_mask(mapping, mapping_gfp_mask(mapping) & ~__GFP_FS);
bd_inode has an interesting comment:
struct inode * bd_inode; /* will die */
Should I be worried about that? It seems to predate git history, so
I'm not too concerned about immediate changes.
