Message-Id: <1342000698-13556-2-git-send-email-dedekind1@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 12:58:14 +0300 From: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@...il.com> To: Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu>, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Cc: Linux FS Maling List <linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org>, Linux Kernel Maling List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Ext4 Mailing List <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCHv6 1/5] ext4: Remove useless marking of superblock dirty From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> Commit a0375156 properly notes that superblock doesn't need to be marked as dirty when only number of free inodes / blocks / number of directories changes since that is recomputed on each mount anyway. However that comment leaves some unnecessary markings as dirty in place. Remove these. Artem: tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.
