1002 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the

1004 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
1005 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
1006 *
1007 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
1008 * them dirty.
1009 *
1010 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
1011 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
1012 *
1013 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
1014 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
1015 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
1016 * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
