Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] ext4: Remove useless marking of superblock dirty
Date: Mon,  2 Apr 2012 14:45:36 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333367140-28370-2-git-send-email-artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1333367140-28370-1-git-send-email-artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Commit a0375156 properly notes that superblock doesn't need to be marked
as dirty when only number of free inodes / blocks / number of directories
changes since that is recomputed on each mount anyway. However that comment
leaves some unnecessary markings as dirty in place. Remove these.

Artem: tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.
