From a115f749c14ee94e8b7bdbd203a5afdb1659156b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 14:30:00 -0400 Subject: ext4: remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from ext4_truncate() Since PageWriteback bit is now cleared after extents are converted from unwritten to written ones, we have full exclusion of writeback path from truncate (truncate_inode_pages() waits for PageWriteback bits to get cleared on all invalidated pages). Exclusion from DIO path is achieved by inode_dio_wait() call in ext4_setattr(). So there's no need to wait for extent convertion in ext4_truncate() anymore.
