Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2012 17:42:30 +0900 Message-ID: <8762541uyx.fsf@devron.myhome.or.jp> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.3.50 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 737 Lines: 27 Hi, In 169ebd90131b2ffca74bb2dbe7eeacd39fb83714 commit, writeback doesn't __iget()/iput() anymore. This means nobody moves the inode to lru list. I.e. new_inode() dirty_inode() iput_final() /* keep inode without adding lru */ flush indoes /* clean inode is not on lru */ I noticed this situation in my FS though, I think the same bug is on all FSes of linus tree too, after this commit. Am I missing the something?
