Subject: [PATCH 6/8] fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lock
From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>
Protect the inode writeback list with a new global lock
inode_wb_list_lock and use it to protect the list manipulations and
traversals. This lock replaces the inode_lock as the inodes on the
list can be validity checked while holding the inode->i_lock and
hence the inode_lock is no longer needed to protect the list.
Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@...hat.com>
