From 23539afc71937dbaca7de2229669f4475ff4ea7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 14:17:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: don't redirty tail an inode with dirty pages Avoid delaying writeback for an expire inode with lots of dirty pages, but no active dirtier at the moment. Previously we only do that for the kupdate case. Any filesystem that does delayed allocation or unwritten extent conversion after IO completion will cause this - for example, XFS.
