Merge tag 'writeback-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux
fix 1 mysterious divide error fix 3 NULL dereference bugs in writeback tracing, on SD card removal w/o umount * tag 'writeback-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/linux: writeback: fix dereferencing NULL bdi->dev on trace_writeback_queue lib: proportion: lower PROP_MAX_SHIFT to 32 on 64-bit kernel writeback: fix NULL bdi->dev in trace writeback_single_inode backing-dev: fix wakeup timer races with bdi_unregister()
