    fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inode · aa385729
    Christoph Hellwig 提交于
    Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or
    anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it
    needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not.
    
    This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet.  I plan
    to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting
    this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid
    tree interdependencies.
    
    Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block.  That
    has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.
