  70 *      @flags: what kind of dirty (i.e. I_DIRTY_SYNC)
  71 *      Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
  72 *      mark_inode_dirty_sync.
  73 *
  74 * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
  75 *
  76 * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
  77 * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
  78 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
  79 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
  80 *
  81 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
  82 * them dirty.
  83 *
  84 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
  85 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
  86 *
  87 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
  88 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself.  And the ->dirtied_when field of
  89 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
  90 * blockdev's pages.  This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
  91 * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
  92 * blockdev inode.

 666 * sync_inodes() goes through each super block's dirty inode list, writes the
 667 * inodes out, waits on the writeout and puts the inodes back on the normal
 668 * list.
 669 *
 670 * This is for sys_sync().  fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm.  The subtle
 671 * part of the sync functions is that the blockdev "superblock" is processed
 672 * last.  This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will
 673 * perform no I/O, but will mark buffers in the blockdev mapping as dirty.
 674 * What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
 675 * back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep.  So the
 676 * additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
 677 * sure that really happens.  Because if we call sync_inodes_sb(wait=1) with
 678 * outstanding dirty inodes, the writeback goes block-at-a-time within the
 679 * filesystem's write_inode().  This is extremely slow.
