Message-Id: <1231278901.8844.14.camel@bobble.smo.corp.google.com>
Date:	Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:55:01 -0800
From:	Frank Mayhar <fmayhar@...gle.com>

Subject: [PATCH] Clean up no-journal handling.

This patch cleans up the no-journal signaling in ext4, removing the new
s_nojournal_flag that was previously introduced in ext4_sb_info for this
purpose.  It also cleans up the write_dirty_metadata handling and fixes
a bug in ext4_sync_fs().
