From 89e1219004b3657cc014521663eeef0744f1c99d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Federico Cuello Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:04:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] writeback: fix break condition Commit dcf6a79dda5cc2a2bec183e50d829030c0972aaa ("write-back: fix nr_to_write counter") fixed nr_to_write counter, but didn't set the break condition properly. If nr_to_write == 0 after being decremented it will loop one more time before setting done = 1 and breaking the loop.
