Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:42:30 +0900 Message-ID: <8762541uyx.fsf@devron.myhome.or.jp> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Cc: Jan Kara , linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: Al Viro Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org Hi, In 169ebd90131b2ffca74bb2dbe7eeacd39fb83714 commit, writeback doesn't __iget()/iput() anymore. This means nobody moves the inode to lru list. I.e. new_inode() dirty_inode() iput_final() /* keep inode without adding lru */ flush indoes /* clean inode is not on lru */ I noticed this situation in my FS though, I think the same bug is on all FSes of linus tree too, after this commit. Am I missing the something? Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi
