Hi all,

After merging the block tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c: In function 'aoeblk_gdalloc':
drivers/block/aoe/aoeblk.c:410:21: error: 'struct backing_dev_info' has no member named 'name'
  410 |  q->backing_dev_info->name = "aoe";
      |                     ^~

Caused by commit

  1cd925d58385 ("bdi: remove the name field in struct backing_dev_info")

I applied the following patch for today.
