Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 for-6.8/block 17/18] ext4: remove block_device_ejected()
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 22:08:33 +0800

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

block_device_ejected() is added by commit bdfe0cbd746a ("Revert
"ext4: remove block_device_ejected"") in 2015. At that time 'bdi->wb'
is destroyed synchronized from del_gendisk(), hence if ext4 is still
mounted, and then mark_buffer_dirty() will reference destroyed 'wb'.
However, such problem doesn't exist anymore:

- commit d03f6cdc1fc4 ("block: Dynamically allocate and refcount
backing_dev_info") switch bdi to use refcounting;
- commit 13eec2363ef0 ("fs: Get proper reference for s_bdi"), will grab
additional reference of bdi while mounting, so that 'bdi->wb' will not
be destroyed until generic_shutdown_super().

Hence remove this dead function block_device_ejected().
