Subject: [PATCH] xfs: remove ->write_super and stop maintaining ->s_dirt
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 12:26:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090605102622.GA30685@lst.de> (raw)

Al, can you put this in via the vfs tree?  With people starting to
change these bits now I think we're better off feeding this through
the VFS tree early than later via the XFS tree.

Subject: [PATCH] xfs: remove ->write_super and stop maintaining ->s_dirt
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

the write_super method is used for

 (1) writing back the superblock periodically from pdflush
 (2) called just before ->sync_fs for data integerity syncs

We don't need (1) because we have our own peridoc writeout through xfssyncd,
and we don't need (2) because xfs_fs_sync_fs performs a proper synchronous
superblock writeout after all other data and metadata has been written out.

Also remove ->s_dirt tracking as it's only used to decide when too call
->write_super.
