Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
