skip writing data pages when inode is under I_SYNC
Since I_SYNC was split out from I_LOCK, the concern in commit 4b89eed93e0fa40a63e3d7b1796ec1337ea7a3aa ("Write back inode data pages even when the inode itself is locked") is not longer valid. We should revert to the original behavior: in __writeback_single_inode(), when we find an I_SYNC-ed inode and we're not doing a data-integrity sync, skip writing entirely. Otherwise, we are double calling do_writepages() Signed-off-by: Qi Yong <qiyong@fc-cn.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: Joern Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> Cc: WU Fengguang <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
