 969 *
 970 * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.

 974 * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
 975 * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
 976 *
 977 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
 978 * them dirty.
 979 *
 980 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
 981 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
 982 *
 983 * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
 984 * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself.  And the ->dirtied_when field of
 985 * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
 986 * blockdev's pages.  This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
