From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The 'journal_mark_dirty()' function currently first marks the superblock as dirty by setting 's_dirt' to 1, then does various sanity checks and returns, then actuall does all the magic with the journal. This is not an ideal order, though. It makes more sense to first do all the checks, then do all the internal stuff, and at the end notify the VFS that the superblock is now dirty. This patch moves the 's_dirt = 1' assignment from the very beginning of this function to the very end.
