Subject: [08/25] ext4: Use tag dirty lookup during mpage_da_submit_io
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 11:09:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100525181212.885517951@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100525181259.GA18630@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit af6f029d3836eb7264cd3fbb13a6baf0e5fdb5ea upstream.

This enables us to drop the range_cont writeback mode
use from ext4_da_writepages.
