Subject: [PATCH 2/9] writeback: Move requeueing when I_SYNC set to writeback_sb_inodes()
Date: Thu,  3 May 2012 14:47:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336049283-5859-3-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336049283-5859-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz>

When writeback_single_inode() is called on inode which has I_SYNC already
set while doing WB_SYNC_NONE, inode is moved to b_more_io list. However
this makes sense only if the caller is flusher thread. For other callers of
writeback_single_inode() it doesn't really make sense and may be even wrong
- flusher thread may be doing WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in parallel.

So we move requeueing from writeback_single_inode() to writeback_sb_inodes().
