Subject: vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

vfs: Add no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag

If no_nrwrite_index_update is set we don't update nr_to_write and
address space writeback_index in write_cache_pages.  This change
enables a file system to skip these updates in write_cache_pages and do
them in the writepages() callback.  This patch will be followed by an
ext4 patch that make use of these new flags.
