From 92e6222dfb85db780ebd8caea6a3f9326c375bc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 14:40:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: remove i_mutex from ext4_file_sync() After removal of ext4_flush_unwritten_io() call, ext4_file_sync() doesn't need i_mutex anymore. Forcing of transaction commits doesn't need i_mutex as there's nothing inode specific in that code apart from grabbing transaction ids from the inode. So remove the lock.
