Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Use tag dirty lookup during mpage_da_submit_io
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:03:24 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1223966008-6656-3-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1223966008-6656-2-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This enables us to drop the range_cont writeback mode
use from ext4_da_writepages.
