First remove items from work_list as soon as we start working on them. This means we don't have to track any pending or visited state and can get rid of all the RCU magic freeing the work items - we can simply free them once the operation has finished. Second use a real completion for tracking synchronous requests - if the caller sets the completion pointer we complete it, otherwise use it as a boolean indicator that we can free the work item directly. Third unify struct wb_writeback_args and struct bdi_work into a single data structure, wb_writeback_work. Previous we set all parameters into a struct wb_writeback_args, copied it into struct bdi_work, copied it again on the stack to use it there. Instead of just allocate one structure dynamically or on the stack and use it all the way through the stack.
