From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> When we decide to mark an inode sick, clear the DONTCACHE flag so that the incore inode will be kept around until memory pressure forces it out of memory. This increases the chances that the sick status will be caught by someone compiling a health report later on. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
