From a66979abad090b2765a6c6790c9fdeab996833f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:23:41 +1100 Subject: fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lock Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.
