905 *
906 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -

908 *
909 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
910 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
911 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
912 * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
913 * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
914 * blockdev inode.
