From 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:09:17 -0400 Subject: vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag If no_nrwrite_index_update is set we don't update nr_to_write and address space writeback_index in write_cache_pages. This change enables a file system to skip these updates in write_cache_pages and do them in the writepages() callback. This patch will be followed by an ext4 patch that make use of these new flags.
