bdi: register sysfs bdi device only once per queue
Below is the extract from dmesg:-
------------[ cut here ]------------
Badness at mm/backing-dev.c:179
That's a known issue, and will not cause any harm besides printing
this warning. Andrew added the warning to catch drivers who use one
single request queue for multiple devices. Currently known are mtd and
floppy (triggers only if you have more than one device per driver).
The drivers need to be changed to use a separate queue per device, to
get rid of this warning.
Okay ... thanks for the info.
Mark
