>From d6caf6c109cc21e88bbe165f144574c736e85c2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Artem Bityutskiy Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 15:48:57 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] VFS: move inode_lock into sync_sb_inodes This patch makes 'sync_sb_inodes()' lock 'inode_lock', rather than expect that the caller will do this. This change was previously done by Hans Reiser and sat in the -mm tree.
