Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:09:28 +0100 From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, cluster-devel@...hat.com Cc: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] GFS2: Clear dirty bit at end of inode glock sync The dirty bit can get set during the inode glock sync. Its too complicated to change that at the moment, so this is the quick fix - to clear the bit again at the end of the function.
