Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/9] ext2: add ext2_inode_block() helper
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:28:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-work-inode-metadata_writeback-v1-1-7d6c678a585d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-work-inode-metadata_writeback-v1-0-7d6c678a585d@kernel.org>
Move the lookup of the inode table block that holds an inode out of
ext2_get_inode() into a helper. ext2_sync_inode_metadata() is going to
use it to find the block without reading it from disk.
No functional changes.
