GIT bbb4f96d925d75644199aa60a67085fe373994aa git://oss.sgi.com:8090/nathans/xfs-2.6 commit bbb4f96d925d75644199aa60a67085fe373994aa Author: Nathan Scott Date: Mon Jul 3 10:28:30 2006 +1000 [XFS] Improve xfsbufd delayed write submission patterns, after blktrace analysis. [XFS] Under a sequential create+allocate workload, blktrace reported backward writes being issued by xfsbufd, and frequent inappropriate queue unplugs. We now insert at the tail when moving from the delwri lists to the temp lists, which maintains correct ordering, and we avoid unplugging queues deep in the submit paths when we'd shortly do it at a higher level anyway. blktrace now reports much healthier write patterns from xfsbufd for this workload (and likely many others).

There is trivial "inode => vnode => inode" conversion, but only flags and mode of final inode are looked at. Pass original inode instead.
