76 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the

78 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list

81 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking

85 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.

88 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself. And the ->dirtied_when field of
