In several places, we used the GIF_ORDERED inode flag to determine if an inode was on the ordered writes list. However, since we always held the sd_ordered_lock spin_lock during the manipulation, we can just as easily check list_empty(&ip->i_ordered) instead. This allows us to keep more than one ordered writes list to make journal writing improvements. This patch eliminates GIF_ORDERED in favor of checking list_empty.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
