- * __mark_inode_dirty - internal function
- * @inode: inode to mark
- * @flags: what kind of dirty (i.e. I_DIRTY_SYNC)
- * Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
- * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
- *
- * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
- *
- * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
- * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
- * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
- * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
- *
- * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
- * them dirty.
- *
- * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
- * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
+ * writeback_in_progress - determine whether there is writeback in progress
+ * @bdi: the device's backing_dev_info structure.
*
- * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
- * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
- * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
- * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
- * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
- * blockdev inode.
+ * Determine whether there is writeback waiting to be handled against a
+ * backing device.

+ * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
*
- * WB_SYNC_HOLD is a hack for sys_sync(): reattach the inode to sb->s_dirty so
- * that it can be located for waiting on in __writeback_single_inode().
+ * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
*
- * Called under inode_lock.
+ * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
+ * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
+ * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
+ * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
*
- * If `bdi' is non-zero then we're being asked to writeback a specific queue.
- * This function assumes that the blockdev superblock's inodes are backed by
- * a variety of queues, so all inodes are searched. For other superblocks,
- * assume that all inodes are backed by the same queue.
+ * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
+ * them dirty.
*
- * FIXME: this linear search could get expensive with many fileystems. But
- * how to fix? We need to go from an address_space to all inodes which share
- * a queue with that address_space. (Easy: have a global "dirty superblocks"
- * list).
+ * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
+ * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
*
- * The inodes to be written are parked on sb->s_io. They are moved back onto
- * sb->s_dirty as they are selected for writing. This way, none can be missed
- * on the writer throttling path, and we get decent balancing between many
- * throttled threads: we don't want them all piling up on __wait_on_inode.
+ * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
+ * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
+ * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
+ * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
+ * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
+ * blockdev inode.
