29 * __mark_inode_dirty - internal function
30 * @inode: inode to mark
31 * @flags: what kind of dirty (i.e. I_DIRTY_SYNC)
32 * Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
33 * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
35 * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
37 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
38 * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
39 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
40 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
42 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
43 * them dirty.
45 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
46 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
48 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
49 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
50 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
51 * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
52 * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
53 * blockdev inode.
