907 * Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
908 * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
909 *
910 * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
911 *
912 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
913 * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
914 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
915 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
916 *
917 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
918 * them dirty.
919 *
920 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
921 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
922 *
923 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
924 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
925 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
926 * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
927 * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
928 * blockdev inode.
