| |
In 2.3.43 I changed mark_buffer_dirty() to be blocking as in 2.2.x to fix all the filesystems out there in 2.3.43/fs/*/*.[ch].
I am providing a new call __mark_buffer_dirty() not blocking usable inside critical sections that holds fs spinlocks. Using __mark_buffer_dirty() means that you'll have to call balance_dirty() as soon as you can sleep as you was just used to do with the mark_buffer_dirty() of 2.3.x kernels previous than 2.3.43.
