Subject: [PATCH] write_inode_now(): write inode if not BDI_CAP_NO_WRITEBACK
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.15-rc1~634
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49364ce2534418462d681ad99e52e79a00b0f40b;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] write_inode_now(): write inode if not BDI_CAP_NO_WRITEBACK

If the backing_dev_info doesn't have BDI_CAP_NO_WRITEBACK we're not supposed
to write back an inode's pages.  But in this situation write_inode_now()
refuses to write the inode itself as well.  Fix.
