[PATCH 4.19 09/16] bdi: add a ->dev_name field to struct backing_dev_info

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-08-06 08:19:57
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - misc, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

[ Upstream commit 6bd87eec23cbc9ed222bed0f5b5b02bf300e9a8d ]

Cache a copy of the name for the life time of the backing_dev_info
structure so that we can reference it even after unregistering.

Fixes: 68f23b89067f ("memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears")
