[PATCH 04/12] block_dev: only write bdev inode on close

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

 



Since "bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()" the block device code
writes out all dirty data whenever switching the backing_dev_info for
a block device inode.  But a block device inode can only be dirtied
when it is in use, which means we only have to write it out on the
final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get.
