Subject: inode->i_dirty_buffers redundant ?
Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 15:25:16 +0530 (IST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200101240955.PAA28367@vxindia.veritas.com> (raw)
now that we have inode->i_mapping->dirty_pages, what do we need
inode->i_dirty_buffers for ? I understand the latter was added for the O_SYNC
changes before dirty_pages came into the picture. but now both seem to be
doing more or less the same thing.
