From 564f00f6c03a9339c259eb71a5b3aa8ef7ff1c2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 10:42:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block_dev: only write bdev inode on close Since 018a17bdc865 ("bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()") the block device code writes out all dirty data whenever switching the backing_dev_info for a block device inode. But a block device inode can only be dirtied when it is in use, which means we only have to write it out on the final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get. Factoring out the write out from the bdi list switch prepares from removing the list switch later in the series.
