[PATCH 3/4] ext4: avoid calling ext4_mark_inode_dirty() under unneeded semaphores

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is no need to call ext4_mark_inode_dirty while holding xattr_sem
or i_data_sem, so where it's easy to avoid it, move it out from the
critical region.
