1 ext4: allow inode expansion for nojournal file systems
3 From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@gmail.com>
5 Runs of xfstest ext4/022 on nojournal file systems result in failures
6 because the inodes of some of its test files do not expand as expected.
7 The cause is a conditional in ext4_mark_inode_dirty() that prevents inode
8 expansion unless the test file system has a journal.  Remove this
9 unnecessary restriction.
