+ *	Mark an inode as dirty. Callers should use mark_inode_dirty or
+ *  	mark_inode_dirty_sync.
+ *
+ * Put the inode on the super block's dirty list.
+ *
+ * CAREFUL! We mark it dirty unconditionally, but move it onto the
+ * dirty list only if it is hashed or if it refers to a blockdev.
+ * If it was not hashed, it will never be added to the dirty list
+ * even if it is later hashed, as it will have been marked dirty already.
  *
- * Note:
- * We don't need to grab a reference to superblock here. If it has non-empty
- * ->s_dirty it's hadn't been killed yet and kill_super() won't proceed
- * past sync_inodes_sb() until the ->s_dirty/s_io/s_more_io lists are all
- * empty. Since __sync_single_inode() regains inode_lock before it finally moves
- * inode from superblock lists we are OK.
+ * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
+ * them dirty.
  *
- * If `older_than_this' is non-zero then only flush inodes which have a
- * flushtime older than *older_than_this.
+ * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
+ * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
  *
- * If `bdi' is non-zero then we will scan the first inode against each
- * superblock until we find the matching ones.  One group will be the dirty
- * inodes against a filesystem.  Then when we hit the dummy blockdev superblock,
- * sync_sb_inodes will seekout the blockdev which matches `bdi'.  Maybe not
- * super-efficient but we're about to do a ton of I/O...
+ * Note that for blockdevs, inode->dirtied_when represents the dirtying time of
+ * the block-special inode (/dev/hda1) itself.  And the ->dirtied_when field of
+ * the kernel-internal blockdev inode represents the dirtying time of the
+ * blockdev's pages.  This is why for I_DIRTY_PAGES we always use
+ * page->mapping->host, so the page-dirtying time is recorded in the internal
+ * blockdev inode.

- * nilfs_write_super - write super block(s) of NILFS
- * @sb: super_block
- *
- * nilfs_write_super() gets a fs-dependent lock, writes super block(s), and
- * clears s_dirt.  This function is called in the section protected by
- * lock_super().
- *
- * The s_dirt flag is managed by each filesystem and we protect it by ns_sem
- * of the struct the_nilfs.  Lock order must be as follows:
- *
- *   1. lock_super()
- *   2.    down_write(&nilfs->ns_sem)
- *
- * Inside NILFS, locking ns_sem is enough to protect s_dirt and the buffer
- * of the super block (nilfs->ns_sbp[]).
- *
- * In most cases, VFS functions call lock_super() before calling these
- * methods.  So we must be careful not to bring on deadlocks when using
- * lock_super();  see generic_shutdown_super(), write_super(), and so on.
- *
- * Note that order of lock_kernel() and lock_super() depends on contexts
- * of VFS.  We should also note that lock_kernel() can be used in its
- * protective section and only the outermost one has an effect.
