Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback structure at once. That means to switch an inode a separate inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu callback and work must be scheduled. It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release a writeback structure. To prepare for it, let's add a support for switching multiple inodes at once. Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers. inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode. To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all inodes. wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once. Instead of calling wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced and used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
