When the writeback function is operating in writeback-for-flushing mode (as opposed to writeback-for-integrity) and it encounters an I_LOCKed inode, it will skip writing that inode. This is done for throughput and latency: move on to another inode rather than blocking for this one. Writeback skips this inode by moving it off s_io and onto s_dirty, so that writeback can proceed with the other inodes on s_io. However that inode movement can corrupt s_dirty's reverse-time-orderedness. Fix that by using the new redirty_tail(), which will update the refiled inode's dirtied_when field. Note: the behaviour in here is a bit rude: if kupdate happens to come across a locked inode then it will defer writeback of that inode for another 30 seconds. We'll address that in the next patch.

|
|
*
|
|
* Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
|
|
*
|
|
* CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
|
|
* dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
|
|
* If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
|
|
* even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
|
|
*
|
|
* In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking

|
* them dirty.
|
|
*
|
|
* This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
|
|
* set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
|
|
* the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
|
|
* the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
|
|
* blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
|
|
* page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
|
|
* blockdev inode.
