From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 12:47:57 +0000 (+0200) Subject: writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling X-Git-Tag: v3.2.67~148 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4467c35fd9a2ee6086137460a6dce22bd06754e7 writeback: Move I_DIRTY_PAGES handling commit 6290be1c1dc6589eeda213aa40946b27fa4faac8 upstream. Instead of clearing I_DIRTY_PAGES and resetting it when we didn't succeed in writing them all, just clear the bit only when we succeeded writing all the pages. We also move the clearing of the bit close to other i_state handling to separate it from writeback list handling. This is desirable because list handling will differ for flusher thread and other writeback_single_inode() callers in future. No filesystem plays any tricks with I_DIRTY_PAGES (like checking it in ->writepages or ->write_inode implementation) so this movement is safe.
