Subject: [PATCH 1/2] GFS2: Clear dirty bit at end of inode glock sync
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:09:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240301369-12585-2-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1240301369-12585-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com>
The dirty bit can get set during the inode glock sync. Its too
complicated to change that at the moment, so this is the quick
fix - to clear the bit again at the end of the function.
