 *	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.
 *
 * In short, make sure you hash any inodes _before_ you start marking
 * them dirty.
 *
 * This function *must* be atomic for the I_DIRTY_PAGES case -
 * set_page_dirty() is called under spinlock in several places.
 *
 * 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.

 *
 * This is for sys_sync().  fsync_dev() uses the same algorithm.  The subtle

 * last.  This is because the write_inode() function of a typical fs will

 * What we want to do is to perform all that dirtying first, and then write
 * back all those inode blocks via the blockdev mapping in one sweep.  So the
 * additional (somewhat redundant) sync_blockdev() calls here are to make
 * sure that really happens.  Because if we call sync_inodes_sb(wait=1) with
 * outstanding dirty inodes, the writeback goes block-at-a-time within the
