32 * Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
33 * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
34 *
35 * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
36 *
37 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
38 * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
39 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
40 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
41 *
42 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
43 * them dirty.
44 *
45 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
46 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
47 *
48 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
49 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
50 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
51 * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
52 * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
53 * blockdev inode.

500 *
501 * This is for sys_sync(). fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm. The subtle
502 * part of the sync functions is that the blockdev "superblock" is processed
503 * last. This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will
504 * perform no I/O, but will mark buffers in the blockdev mapping as dirty.
505 * What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
506 * back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep. So the
507 * additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
