From 6da61809822c22634a3de2dcb3c60283b836a88a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Fasheh Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:43:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock() This allows file systems to manage their own i_mutex locking while still re-using the generic_file_splice_write() logic. OCFS2 in particular wants this so that it can order cluster locks within i_mutex.
