- * __mark_inode_dirty - internal function
- * @inode: inode to mark

- * Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
- * mark_inode_dirty_sync.
- *
- * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
- *
- * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
- * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
- * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
- * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
- *
- * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
- * them dirty.
- *
- * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
- * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
+ * writeback_in_progress - determine whether there is writeback in progress
+ * @bdi: the device's backing_dev_info structure.
*
- * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
- * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
- * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
- * blockdev's pages. This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
- * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
- * blockdev inode.
+ * Determine whether there is writeback waiting to be handled against a
+ * backing device.

+ *
+ * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
*
- * sync_inodes() goes through each super block's dirty inode list, writes the

- * list.
+ * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
+ * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
+ * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
+ * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
+ *
+ * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
+ * them dirty.
*
- * This is for sys_sync(). fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm. The subtle
- * part of the sync functions is that the blockdev "superblock" is processed
- * last. This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will
- * perform no I/O, but will mark buffers in the blockdev mapping as dirty.
- * What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
- * back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep. So the
- * additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
- * sure that really happens. Because if we call sync_inodes_sb(wait=1) with
- * outstanding dirty inodes, the writeback goes block-at-a-time within the
- * filesystem's write_inode(). This is extremely slow.
