From: Sha Zhengju <handai.szj@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit a8e7d49a(Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()) extracts TestSetPageDirty from __set_page_dirty and is far away from account_page_dirtied.But it's better to make the two operations in one single function to keep modular.So in order to avoid the potential race mentioned in commit a8e7d49a, we can hold private_lock until __set_page_dirty completes. I guess there's no deadlock between ->private_lock and ->tree_lock by quick look. It's a prepare patch for following memcg dirty page accounting patches.
