Subject: [PATCH 2/3] vfs, writeback: replace FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK with MS_CGROUPWB

FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK indicates whether a file_system_type supports
cgroup writeback; however, different super_blocks of the same
file_system_type may or may not support cgroup writeback depending on
filesystem options. This patch replaces FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK with a
kernel-internal super_block->s_flags MS_CGROUPWB. The concatenated
and abbreviated name is for consistency with other MS_* flags.

ext2_fill_super() is updated to assert MS_CGROUPWB.

Nak. As the uapi part makes it obvious the MS_ namespace is part
of the userspace ABI. Please add a new in-kernel flags field instead.

Are MS_ACTIVE and MS_BORN part of userpace ABI? They seem pretty
internal. I don't mind introducing a new internal flag field but it's
weird to put this single flag there with other internal flags in
->s_flags.

Assuming we add a new field, how do sb->s_iflags and SB_I_XXX sound?
Any better suggestions?

Thanks.

So you are right that there are other internal flags allocated from the
top of the i_flags field, however we are pretty much running out of the
flags available for the ABI so it's better to move internal flags elsewhere
as that's simpler than creating a new ABI for mount...

Looks good to me.
