Subject: [PATCH 5.15 19/89] jbd2: remove journal_clean_one_cp_list()
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2023 12:13:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230828101150.813318897@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230828101150.163430842@linuxfoundation.org>
5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@huawei.com>
[ Upstream commit b98dba273a0e47dbfade89c9af73c5b012a4eabb ]
journal_clean_one_cp_list() and journal_shrink_one_cp_list() are almost
the same, so merge them into journal_shrink_one_cp_list(), remove the
nr_to_scan parameter, always scan and try to free the whole checkpoint
list.
