	Currently, a wb's (bdi_writeback) congestion state is carried in its ->state field; however, cgroup writeback support will require multiple wb's sharing the same congestion state. This patch separates out congestion state into its own struct - struct bdi_writeback_congested. A new field wb field, wb_congested, points to its associated congested struct. The default wb, bdi->wb, always points to bdi->wb_congested. While this patch adds a layer of indirection, it doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

2015-06-02	writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h	Tejun Heo
	With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.
